Have just read the latest that Harry and his family may move to the States (USA).
I say: "GO Harry!" Live your own lives.
Harry has a lot of Diana's qualities.
Wonder what the future of the Commonwealth will be when Queen Liz moves on.
Does anyone know where this toys originated. Are they worth it I have had them for years and wondered.

“After hatching, we swim downstream and emerge in the harbour where we live for part of our life cycle. After about 3 to 5 months we begin our journey back to where we came from, which in some cases means overcoming stormwater pipes, concrete shoots and culverts. This task involves us using our strong pelvic fins to grip tight to things such as tree roots to make our way back upstream.” Banded Kōkupu.

This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.
You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...
Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.
For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz

On 21st June 2019, weather permitting, traffic exiting SH2 will be able to access Gibbons Street straight off the roundabout, but will be detoured left at Victoria Street to Pine Avenue and then right into McParland Street to get back onto Gibbons Street (red arrow).
Traffic from Upper Hutt CBD travelling to SH2 will continue to be detoured right at McParland Street to Pine Avenue and then left into Victoria Street to get back to Gibbons Street and on to SH2 (green arrow). During this time, the worksite will move in stages from south of Victoria Street to north of McParland Street.

We share our capital city with some surprising friends – native fish! Beneath our feet run a maze of drains and streams that our migratory native fish such as the Banded Kōkopu & Koaro have to overcome to reach open streams in the city’s hills.

Just because we put streams into pipes, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve mana.
It’s important that we’re conscious of what we pour into our stormwater pipes and gutters in our city as it negatively impacts the fish moving through them.
Come and meet the fish at Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019
Me again. Cleaning up. I have heaps an heaps of these handles. They are bran new and would suit someone doing a nursery. Make me an offer.
