Community spirit
I love seeing the flyers for my market up around the district. Sadly, we have lost a few stallholders to injury and illness. And the lowering numbers is making other stallholders nervous, and reconsider coming.
I know there are a lot of events on over the weekend, including the Home & Garden Show, but I know, with your support, and clever skills, we can do this.
All you wonderful, clever and creative businesses and people out there, I would really love to have you show and sell your treasures at the market. Bookings are open till midday Friday, for Saturdays market. Shared large stalls are available.
Check out re-new.nz/sustainable-market for details and bookings.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

New neighbour
Okay folks, if you feed your animals outside, you might want to rethink that. We have new nocturnal neighbours, inside Havelock North.
There is a very well fed brush tail possum up the pōhutukawa tree in my garden.
I don’t know where it’s come in from, but it’s in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, so keep an eye on your pet doors, open windows and doors and pet food.
I’ll be notifying council and DOC tomorrow.
