They were always a favourite when we went to Foxton because they shared their stories and skills so generously. They've been displaced by a group of gauche young carvers who have no idea how to relate to the public. "We kicked them out," said one when we enquired. Please, Foxton, can another home be found for the ladies, as they added so much to the Foxton area?

When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.
Erich says he thinks he’s inspired other people with a disability to take on training.

I have an apparently injured bird scampering around an enclosed room. There are no visible injuries but it would appear that the bird is, presently, unable to fly. To my untutored eye, it looks like a blackbird, given that its black and is a bird. I have no idea how to aid its recovery and there are cats around.
Do we have a local bird recovery centre around here? Any advice would be most welcome.
Thank you.

If he's locked in somewhere he will be starving by now, as he was last seen on Monday 21 June. If you live in the Park Road-Batt St-College St area or nearby, please, please check your property - and your neighbours' if they are away. He doesn't usually go near the road, but if he has been killed some how, it would be far better to know than to imagine. He's quite a large cat and black and white, with a black 'mask' effect on his face. Ph 027 2424-112 or 06 3572116.

An eco-brick is a plastic bottle packed with shredded, single-use, non-recyclable plastics, compressed to a required density to create a reusable building block. They are a sustainable way to reusenon-biodegradable plastic waste as they are regarded as a long-lasting and durable material.
Eco-bricks = a low energy solution to keeping plastic out of the ecosystem!
What is the purpose of an eco-brick?
Making an eco-brick can be a tedious and time-consuming project (but great to do whilst watching TV!) and the purpose of it is to make you responsible for your own plastic waste and encourage you to reduce your own consumption.
The aim is to help you cut down on what you’re buying and ultimately produce less waste whilst creating something beneficial for yourself or the community!
What goes into the eco-brick?
The most important thing about an eco-brick is that the contents are CLEAN and DRY before they get stuffed. The reason for this is to prevent any bacteria or mould forming inside, which will undo all your hard work as they will not be validated!
You can put inside an eco-brick:
Potato chip, biscuit, cake packets etc.
Stretchy plastic e.g., carrier bags, bread bags, clingfilm etc.
Pasta/rice packets
Packaging – bubble wrap/plastic envelopes
Styrofoam/polystyrene
Hard plastic – meat trays, flowerpots etc (however, hard plastics will need to be cut up into much smaller pieces than soft plastic to allow you to reach the weight requirements)
What can I make with an eco-brick?
The most common personal projects are footstools! They can be as small or as large as you want, you can be creative with the bottle bottom colours to make a cool pattern or cover them in some fabric to make a decorative piece around the house!
There are other smaller projects you can make, like doorstops for example! I am personally taking inspiration from this one found on Pinterest:
Ok, so how do I make one?
It is very simple! The picture below shows you how in 5 simple steps. The key is to just keep stuffing until you can’t any more! With time and patience, your brick will come to life.
