Photographer Louise Thomas made a visit to Bushy Park, prior to lockdown. Now that we are all at home, please feel free to post a picture of the birds you have in your garden.

"Bush robins/toutouwai (Petroica longipes) have an open heart, they roam tramping tracks without fear because it doesn’t occur to them to be afraid. They have no armour on their personalities. If they were humans they would help you change your tyre and laugh about the experience.
They will stand on your shoes if you sit too long. And rummage inquiringly while you unpack your pack. I read once that the open-hearted will inherit the Earth. I hope it’s true – that it is better to be possibly hurt than hardened. But the open-hearted are often preyed upon by the ambitious. It might be why the robin is at risk and declining – he’s just a little too trusting of those that would eat him. Bushy Park, July 2021."

All regions outside of the Auckland and Northland region will move to Alert Level 3 11.59pm Tuesday August 31.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.

Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.

This is not a rant more of a plea to stay home don't go anywhere unless for essential travel and everyone knows what that is and sorry buying items from Facebook or neighborly is not classed as essential
Think of what the parents and the family of the boy or girl are going thru in this horrible and uncertain time

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last year, we couldn't have done it without you!

Our shop in Tawa is closed under Level 4 but you can always order online at any time. However, we can't ship your order until we get to Level 3, we'll be able to do contactless pick up at Level 3 too.

So to celebrate this week, we're giving all our customers a free gift when you spend $50 or more. It will be an extra surprise for you when you do get your order whether we courier it or you pick it up once that is possible. www.soulynz.co.nz...

Stay safe everyone!
