"So cool to see a bellbird (Anthornis melanura), aka korimako, today. I can't remember the last one I saw - possibly around Christmas time, when I snapped one in red mistletoe at Mt Ruapehu. My daughter actually spotted this guy. "Mum, look, … View moreWords and picture by Louise Thomas.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.
We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.
We are looking for some basket or forage willows that we could take some cuttings from. Looking for small varieties suitable for coppicing/pollarding, especially early flowering ones. Happy to swap for marmalade/jam/eggs/woodwork. Jenny 021 230 8450

"Hey, I'm Button. I am a very handsome and lovable boy. I am a huge love bug and absolutely adore everyone that I meet. I would love to go to my new home where there is someone around for most parts of the day as I thrive on companionship and don't really like being by myself. I love playing with my toys and chasing them around my room. I would be okay going to a home with young children as they will be able to play with me, but they should know when to give me time and space to myself when I need it, and of course to be respectful of me. I would also be okay going to a home with another cat as I also really love feline companionship just as much as my humans. I would also be okay going to a home that has a calm and cat friendly dog. I do have a medical waiver that my new family will need to be made aware of but we can chat about this when you meet me."

We’re aiming to knit 20,000 teddy bears for children displaced as a result of turmoil in their country.
We’ve been overwhelmed by the response so far, but 20,000 bears is no small ask!

Dear neighbours,
How many of you remember gardening in school? Hopefully, more students and teachers will be inspired by the great work being done at this amazing school.
With a much improved weather forecast for this weekend Saturday is a good day for a trip to the Wairarapa Farmers' Market.
9am-1pm Solway Showgrounds. Masterton.
As (thank goodness) we inch towards Spring ..and it gets warmer there are more variety in vegetables at the market. 👌🏽

Check out the carrots, broccoli & cauliflower and more. Plus plants, crafts, music and coffee - all good. See you there!
I have here a lovely little male canary who has started to sing. He is last seasons chick.
The only reason I am selling is because I thought he was a female and the other male in my aviary and he are just not getting along. It's coming up breeding season and they are having little spats all … View moreI have here a lovely little male canary who has started to sing. He is last seasons chick.

Sorry about the blurry quality of some the photos. He was dynamite to try and photograph just now. The first photo was taken 5 months ago and is clearer.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
