Have you got an interesting tale of business inspiration?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Life gave Dave Murray lemons, so he made lemonade - and eventually, pretzels and soft serve as well.

What started as a side-of-the-road lemonade stall, fundraising for a trip for his kids, turned into Murray receiving bags and bags of lemons, even after the trip was over.

Mirka has been missing for almost 2 months. We've had a really good sighting on Saturday at Coleridge and Wordsworth. There are quite a few cats with similar colouring about, but how many also have green eyes and one black spot, and one only, right in the middle of their nose? That cat was smart enough to say hi and accept a feed, so hopefully she's hanging around. If you're not in Enderley, please keep finger toes talons & paws crossed for us, and if you are in Enderley please look for her, thank you! Call/text anytime, 0226917908
She is a fair way from home - Bledisloe terrace, Ham East. She was wearing a pink collar & bell but she often loses them. Chipped, snipped, registered. No white patches, just some off-white tail stripes, high pitched miaow, shy but likes dogs. Her own dog and her people miss her a lot. Please help her get home!
