Celebrating Wellington in Art & 65 Years Together
This exhibition features 25 beautiful new paintings by Alan Collins including scenes of Wellington from Eastbourne around the bays to Oriental Bay. If you look out the front windows of the gallery, you can point to many of the scenes beautifully captured in his paintings. Alan loves to paint outdoors and can often be seen perched somewhere on the side of the coastal road to Eastbourne, sketching a magical view and atmosphere before him. He loves painting in watercolours almost as much as his wife Sally, he turns 94 during his exhibition and then on Dec 9th they celebrate 65 years married, Congratulations Alan and Sally.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Speed limits around NaeNae
Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
