Ever wondered what our homes will be like in 20 to 30 years? Away from predictions of robots doing everything for us, experts say it's not all about the gimmicks.

With the colder weather, long term strays and semi-feral cats are moving closer to houses, this means we are getting a lot of reports of stray cats turning up, and owned cats being scared away by these "intruders". If you have found a cat, please report it as soon … View moreCat Care Incorporated
With the colder weather, long term strays and semi-feral cats are moving closer to houses, this means we are getting a lot of reports of stray cats turning up, and owned cats being scared away by these "intruders". If you have found a cat, please report it as soon as possible, if it is not friendly, please contact Catcare regarding traps and advice. We are not able to take in every cat as we only have limited foster homes, and young and abandoned cats take priority but we will do everything we can to help, so please call or message us.

I was born at this property and have been given a lot of love and attention as my mother taught me to be friendly to people. I still come over for a pat and scratch every time I see my owners and can be easily moved between paddocks as I would follow a bucket of sheep nuts without any hesitation. I have fathered quite a few lambs over this time and majority of them were twins. I am Texel X Gotland Pelt and I've got the most amazing white wool. The Gotland Pelt girls I have been with produced black lambs, but my lambs with Texel, Finn and other white coloured girls are white.
It is time for me to now move to another family as my owners are now running out of girls they can let me run with.
Please come and meet me if you are interested, my owners' contact is 027 276 2838.

Sgt Raymond Purdy was in the Metropolitan Police, he was shot and killed in the line of duty chasing a suspect on 12th July 1959. The suspect was captured by police, and was the last man to be hanged for killing a police officer.
A friend of a colleague, knowing the area where Sgt Purdy was killed went to look for the Police Memorial TRust plaque. However there wasn’t one!!! Contacting the Police Memorial Trust they were surprised to find the dedication of Sgt. Purdy hadn’t been remembered and recognised and are acting to recognise his loss with a memorial plaque; the plaque is almost complete.
It transpires that Sgt. Purdy’s wife and children moved to New Zealand and now we are trying to locate existing relatives so that they can be contacted about a memorial to Sgt Purdy.
The Police Memorial Trust in UK would love to speak with them.. The Trust can be contacted at www.ukpolicememorial.org...
Can I ask NZ residents to please help us find Sgt. Purdys family, please pass this message on to your friends and relatives so we get nationwide coverage and the best chance of finding this family.
Many Thanks

This winter, St John urges the public to prioritise health & wellbeing. The most important thing you can do is be immunised against influenza and seek advice from a health professional if you are unwell. Each winter the surge of 111 ambulance calls continues to increase, which despite St John’s best efforts to triage and treat people in-home, places a lot of pressure on the ambulance service and the hospital emergency departments.
St John has issued five key messages to the public to help them look after themselves and each other this winter – read them here: goo.gl...
