Massive villa relocation "absolute madness"

Colleen Hawkes Reporter from Homed

What a pleasure to meet Hayley Parsons of Clarks Beach, Auckland. She and husband Chris relocated this huge three-storey villa from Palmerston North to Auckland, and project managed the rebuild of Huntly House from London. Wonderful house, wonderful history.

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Hi everyone,
We're looking into how some common claims about NZ stack up and would be interested in your thoughts on whether New Regent Street in Christchurch deserves its title of 'NZ's most beautiful street'. Do you think it is the best-looking street in the country? Or is there another street you think is more beautiful? Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it included in an article. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Our 5 much loved Kunekune piglets from the Champion Makino herd are now ready to be rehomed as pets. Born on 05.05.2021 they will be ready from the 30th June onwards.
We are looking for good homes where they will continue to receive love. Because they are very social, they will need to go as a pair or where there are already other Kunekunes- unless they come to live with you in your house with access to the outside. 🐖😃Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you don't mind muddy pig trotters in your house and needing to have your food out of reach at all times.

If you haven't got time for a dog but would love to have a pet, get Kunekunes!! All our ones have so many traits associated with dogs, they come up to greet you, letting you know they want a scratch, attention or some food and they are highly trainable because of being regarded more intelligent than dogs. They have a healthy dose of confidence though, like most pigs. Our piglets are used to chickens and a dog already.

Unlike other pigs, Kunekunes pigs eat grass happily for 90 % of their food. Most Kunekunes do not root with their snouts. But I couldn't guarantee that.
Are they miniature? No, not in what most people understand under it. They are still classed as miniature Kunekunes because the official definition is being shorter than 49 cm ( they are roughly becoming adult knee height).

Black and White piglet = male
Mostly black piglet. = Female
Pink piglet. = Female
Ginger- black dots. =Female
Ginger black dots. = Male

$120 for one and $200 for a pair.

An ideal pair is a neutered boar piglet and female piglet because a boar and a sow get on extremely well usually. If you do want to breed at some stage, we can help you finding a suitable boar on loan.

Because we know getting new pets is always an unknown, we will take them back of it doesn't work out.

If you are interested, you can view the piglets in Ngaere with the parents.
