The festival was postponed this month due to the response and on-going recovery after Cyclone Gabrielle as well as the ongoing unpredictability of the weather.
Board Chairman and former Defence Minister Ron Mark shared that โafter the decision to postpone it has been a priority for the team to work with our key stakeholders to secure a new date. With todayโs announcement we can get planning underway again to deliver a world-class Air Festival based right here in the Wairarapa. Our board and management team are both humbled and grateful for the incredible support that we have received from our partners, stakeholders, ticketholders, and the wider community.โ
The festival takes place every two years, drawing crowds with a large aircraft display. It was scheduled to take place from February 24 to February 26.
Wings General Manager Carla Steed, confirmed โticket holders will automatically have their tickets transferred to the new date, whilst those who are unable to make the new date will have a 14 day window to request a full refund. We really appreciate the support we have received, and hope that the community continues to get behind the festival.โ
As well as the spectacular air display programme, Wings Over Wairarapa Air Festival also features the Take Flight programme โ an interactive STEM education programme that provides engaging activities and demonstrations to school aged children on the Friday and is also available for all visitors on Saturday and Sunday. The aim of the programme is to inspire and engage tamariki and rangatahi to consider STEM pathways, with a large focus on aviation and aerospace.

This aviary is basically sound, but could do with some TLC.

It previously housed a canary though I haven't used it. My requirements changed when one of my little darlings fled their cage and never returned, so I don't need 3 aviaries any more.

A family run business, Leon Bouley founded a mustard mill and oil production facility in Burgundy that became well known for the itโs excellent mustard.
The grandson of Edmond Fallot now runs the state of the art facility to produce those same mustards.
Mustard production in France itself dates back to 1292 when the first records can be found that describe a mustard maker โa โmoutadierโ .. Up until the 1850โs mustard production had been a labour intensive process like much food production at the time and the mechanisation processes that began to revolutionise the industry resulted in new regulations being created to safe guard quality and taste. These were again updated recently in 2000 .
Fallot is one of the most well known and last true craftsman of mustards in France today.
Dijon has become one of the most well known varieties. Mustard cultivation in Asia dates back much further and itโs use quite different than what we know but in Burgundy the limestone terroir idea for wine was also good for mustard production. Dating back to 1390, production became more established and regulated with the establishment of the City of Dijon Corporation of Vinegar and Mustard Makers in 1634.
So an age old tradition lovingly crafted to careful time honored conditions what we are celebrating in July.

Durian is a well-known fruit in Asia. It is a large fruit with a very strong smell and sweet taste. In fact, this fruit is banned from taking with you in some public places in Asia because it smells so strong.
Many other things are also made from durian, such as durian ice cream, Es Cendol with Durian flavor and snacks.
The fruit is widely eaten in Asia and is very popular!

Try Loose Lavender Buds in red sauces for pasta or pizza, it gives an intriguing rich taste. Just a teaspoon full is enough.
They also go well with fruit, especially raspberries and blueberries. A crรจme anglais flavoured with lavender makes an elegant end to a meal. Lavender is used in savory breads, pastries and in cakes biscuits and muffins quite successfully.

From a nutritional point of view, Black Garlic has a similar content of allicin, the active ingredient in White Garlic that imparts its benefits, but without the odour. Additionally, Black Garlic is rich in amino acids and has almost double the amount of antioxidants when compared to White Garlic. But that is not the whole story.
Black Garlic also contains an additional very specific compound called S-Allycysteine (SAC) in very high concentrations, compared to White Garlic which is water soluble and thus absorbed easily within the body. S-Allylcysteine has been shown to assist with the absorption of allicin. This makes Black Garlic much more effective than White Garlic for all the benefits mentioned above and additionally it is well tolerated by the digestive system so the chance of gastric distress is completely minimised.
