“Luckily there’s not much I come across at work that I’d want to chop up, so I don’t get tempted to delete books out of the system for my own purposes,” Benefield laughs.
The Lower Hutt based artist sources much of her imagery from vintage magazines and children’s books of the 1930s to 1960s and delights in juxtaposing the prim and proper characters and scenes with an irreverent twist.

"I don’t mind admitting I cried a little when I saw my first kākā in the wild in Wellington. It was some years ago now, but at the time it seemed incredible to me that this bird I’d only ever seen in photos or in captivity was marauding about my home turf.
The experience was a little overwhelming – not for them mind you, they just carried on ripping the bark from a tree and looking at me from time to time with vague interest. Now of course we grumble about how destructive they are - but hey, it’s a parrot – it’s what they do.
Also, I’m pretty sure our native trees and shrubs have evolved with this guy, so can no doubt cope with having a few blossoms ripped off or bark stripped.
If I had a built-in can-opener I’d be tempted to try it out on a few things too. Kākā/brown parrot (Nestor meridionalis), Wellington Botanic Garden today. As an aside, the tulips are blooming and looking magnificent there at the moment if you get the chance."

New walking and biking paths will tie in with the other paths in this area that are already proving popular and make it easier for more people to get around with fewer trips by car. Other proposed changes will improve the look and feel of this area and create more space for people.

She plans to call for an “independent” investigation into the $6-million-a-year rates-funded rubbish and recycling scheme, which was introduced in July but has run into some difficulties.
Separately, Michael Ellis, a Lower Hutt resident who has worked in the procurement sector for more than 20 years and has held roles on council boards, has laid a complaint about the rubbish tender process with the Office of the Auditor-General.
What is your view of the new rubbish and recycling system?

Sadly a cat has been found by the road near 244 Stokes Valley Road. It is a adult fluffy black cat - no collar. Let me know if this is your cat. I have moved it off the rd and will take it to the vet tomorrow to see if it has a micro chip.
