Megan Sinclair, the new product development manager at Whittaker’s in Wellington, is living that dream – albeit without the chocolate rivers – designing flavours and roasting batches of beans in her little lab on the factory floor.
It’s called the micro-lab, and within its walls there are cupboards of flavours and scents, everything from cake batter to beetroot, a mini bean roaster, and a mixing machine called a melange.
In this, she can make 12 kilogram batches to test flavours, or 45kg batches in the one in the room next door; small quantities compared to the tonnes pumped out by the main factory on a daily basis.

Smokey is a rehomed cat who is loving his new life with his happy new owner.
“He is really relaxed now, loves purring and is extremely happy, although is still on guard with unfamiliar noises. Smokey started off being quite afraid of most things, but now is a well-behaved cat who is newly learning to use his scratching post, rather than a carpet! Smokey loves routine and "helps" people by sitting in their laps when they are trying to work or type. He has become an integral part of a piano teaching studio and loves both music and all the students.”

When placed in the southeast portion or the garden or home; it's it's said to bring prosperity and improved income - like an emerald gemstone.


Feng shui ( pronounced " fung schway " is the ancient Asian philosophy that everything around you and me affects us - colours of rooms, furniture placement, locale of home, and indeed, the types of plants and flowers we place in our space.


The feng shui-basics are the red-toned plants are Ma Nature-motivators for increasing health and physical energy; yellow buds bring clear thinking and the ability to state your case and thoughts.


You don't need to be a master gardener or Ma Nature-buff to enjoy feng shui flora and fauna. Just play with the basic principles and ...grow with the flow.
