Spent some time in Hawkes Bay and noticeably in Hastings, Napier, Taradale etc the gassy parks were all beautifully kept including proper care given to non-sports usage parks which abound.
Upper Hutt council refuses to mow often enough, weed remove and sow grass on its parks and areas of parks … View moreSpent some time in Hawkes Bay and noticeably in Hastings, Napier, Taradale etc the gassy parks were all beautifully kept including proper care given to non-sports usage parks which abound.
Upper Hutt council refuses to mow often enough, weed remove and sow grass on its parks and areas of parks not used for organised sport.
What a contrast.
Have you seen the lovely hanging baskets in Silverstream? They make a magnificent display this year, arguably the best ever. This initiative is by the Heretaunga Bookfest Charitable Trust with the Rimutaka Prison Horticultural Unit doing all the preparation of the baskets.

“Today is the two-year adoptaversay of Klio and Quintus (Charlotte and Quinn). How pawsome! We wanted to let you know that they are both doing very well. Klio went from being very shy to now insisting on always being on our laps. Always. Even to the point of trying to get up before we have fully sat down. Quintus was diagnosed with diabetes last January, but has responded very well to the insulin injections and continues to be quite chatty and fluffy. Wishing you all well, and thank you again to the whole team -- your mahi and aroha make such a difference in the lives of kitties and humans alike.”

"Here's a twofer for my 2022 list. A pied stilt/poaka (Himantopus leucocephalus) and a South Island pied oystercatcher/tōrea (Haematopus finschi) keeping each other company at Sandfly Bay in Dunedin as the Sun goes down. Showing you don't even need to be the same species to get along - they remind me of me and my husband - he's the skinny one dozing off while I'm talking. Birds #27 and #28 for 2022."

If spare time is a rarity - not to worry! This year’s Givealittle page is now live and we’re aiming to fundraise $25,000 for the Tasman Environment Trust. All money raised will go towards the purchase of bait and bait stations to continue and expand wasp control operations.
Find out more about this destructive pest by reading through our new interactive feature on Stuff which explores the tools we have in the fight to rid wasps from New Zealand for good.
