Enjoy the very best of locally-made crafts, artisan food, and refreshments in a lovely rural setting at the Eat Drink and Be Crafty Fair. There will also be a live band and plenty of entertainment for all ages – it’s sure to be a great family day out for everyone.
Cell phone coverage in the area of Battle Hill is patchy which in turn means coverage for Eftpos machines can be a problem. In the past, cash has proved to be the most reliable means for transactions. There will be a limited Eftpos facility on the day supplying cash.
The proceeds from the day will support Wellington Free Ambulance and local Porirua Community Charities.
Where: Greater Wellington’s Battle Hill Farm Forest Park, 608 Paekakariki Hill Road, Porirua, Wellington
Admission: Gold coin donation
Summer is a great time to enjoy our coast and waterways, but it pays to check first to see if the water is safe to swim in.
Titahi Bay residents are bracing for another summer of polluted water that keeps them out of the surf, expecting more sewage overflows as the Porirua area’s infrastructure struggles to cope with the increasingly frequent heavy rains.

After a deluge, a slick of brown sludge – or worse – often appears on top of the water at Titahi Bay, the Wellington region’s most popular surf break.
Mayor Anita Baker said she was just as annoyed as residents about the problem. Baker, who has been mayor since 2019 and a city councillor since 2010, said Porirua’s infrastructure had suffered from under-investment for at least a decade.
“I’m totally committed to getting things fixed in the community, but it just comes down to how fast we can do it and how much money we have to spend,” she said.
Thank-you to everybody who came forward with tips on yellow pōhutukawa. There are certainly more in the region than many people realise.

Jack belongs to Catrina Nicholson.
"Jack is seven years old and we have had him for under two months now. I put out a post asking if anyone was trying to find a home for a cat they could no longer take care of. So we had two on the day we went to see them. And we went for this boy Jack, settled in so fast."
Lily belongs to John and Virginia Francis, from Paraparaumu.
"Our Lily is a Maltese Sydney Silkie cross. At 17 months she is fully grown at 3kg. Loves meeting children and other small dogs."

For 18 months, Nikki Guthardt’s thought her cat was probably dead. She’d even mourned over what she thought was his body.
But then, the cat came back.
Romeo the cat was last seen running out Guthardt’s front door not long after her family shifted to Upper Hutt in June last year.

The three boys – Elia and Rumi are identical twins while Sameer, or Sam, is their non-identical triplet – were delivered by Caesarean section in Wellington Hospital in that order at 11.49am, 11.50am, and 11.53am on Friday.
Their mother, Dina Wahid, can't praise the staff at Wellington Hospital enough.

This week we feature Rosa Marie, who took her camera out on Christmas Day. You have got to love the picture of the pied stilt chick!
"Before the festivities began, it was a quick drive over the Pauahatanui Inlet to try and capture some Kingfishers on camera, but it turned out to be Pied Stilt kind of day as we couldn't see any Kingfishers. Most of these photos are taken from one of the hides! There were Pied Stilt chicks too so their parental concern was quite evident from lots of noisy flapping of wings at other birds when they got too close. They were quite grumpy with each other too!"

The focus recently has been on busy sites like play areas, cemeteries and reserves, but despite our staff being a cut above the rest and working long hours straight through to the New Year, we may not get to mow and trim everywhere – so we ask for patience in the meantime, and to remember the grass is always greener!
