World leaders, royalty and more than 200 cardinals gathered at the papal funeral in St Peter’s Square on Saturday night (NZT).

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Early plans for a new 164ha base for the Waikato’s horse racing industry have been revealed, which will include space for harness racing, a retirement village, a small commercial precinct and a residential lifestyle block.

A community information day was held at the Tamahere Community Hall on Sunday where locals and other interested parties got to see early versions of the master plan for Waikato Thoroughbred Racing’s (WTR) new racing and events centre to the south of Hamilton.
