We have two thoroughbred lady horses, lovely natures and good with children. One dark bay (about 25yo) and one attractive chestnut (about 23yo). We have had them for over 15 years, but due to a subdivision we no longer have the space available and would like both to go to a better sized property. … View moreWe have two thoroughbred lady horses, lovely natures and good with children. One dark bay (about 25yo) and one attractive chestnut (about 23yo). We have had them for over 15 years, but due to a subdivision we no longer have the space available and would like both to go to a better sized property. Since our children left home they have been more pets and entertaining to our guests than being regular riding horses.

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

Wellington Water advise their Incident Management Team are working across the region to ensure things are operating as effectively as possible to meet the challenges presented by the significant amount of rainfall experienced across all areas.
Status report is as follows:
• Widespread rain across the region resulting in surface flooding and stormwater overflows plus wastewater systems being overwhelmed
• The network has been overwhelmed and our crews are working to manage the pump stations and clear all intakes
• Major Waste Water overflow in Featherston: the team are utilising sucker trucks to over-pump in order to reduce pressure on the network.
They advise everyone to avoid beaches and rivers for at least 48 hours following this significant rain event.
Our thoughts are with all our residents who have been impacted and are facing a rough time at the moment. We all are trying our best to ensure things are sorted soon.
Some pics of Martinborough, and Ponatahi and Waihenga bridges to show the extent of the flooding. Send us your pics, if you've been affected by this weather, comms@swdc.govt.nz
