Whistling Sisters in Wellington produced great craft beer and its fancy, modern and large restaurant in Wellington's CBD provided delightful fare.
Now its closed waiting for a buyer and not producing beer.

Boneface, the anchor of the craft beer breweries-restaurants in Brewtown, Upper Hutt is up for sale.

Kereru which to me is among NZ's top three craft beer breweries and also located on the doorstep of Brewtown had 12 staff in 2019 including the owners now it has 3 including the owners.

Other closures and push-backs of craft beer establishments are dotted throughout NZ.

The craft beer industry in NZ is under threat due to the cost of living crisis.

I would recommend that our local Upper Hutt and Wellington region craft beer breweries be supported for those who can afford to pay the few dollars extra for infinitely superior beer.

Cat care/housesitter wanted

Caitlin from Trentham

Hi Upper Hutt!


I'm heading away to Australia for a good friend's wedding at the start of February and looking for a catsitter to come and stay with my two rescue kitties, Maeve (black and white) and Luna (tabby). They grew up in a colony before being taken in by a cat rescue and are … View more
Hi Upper Hutt!


I'm heading away to Australia for a good friend's wedding at the start of February and looking for a catsitter to come and stay with my two rescue kitties, Maeve (black and white) and Luna (tabby). They grew up in a colony before being taken in by a cat rescue and are still pretty weary of people at first so any sitters must be willing and able to come and meet them and me in person before the sitting dates (5-14 February) please.


I have a lovely 2 bedroom house in Trentham/Wallaceville, pretty close to Upper Hutt city (about a 20 min walk) and Wallaceville train station (a 10 minute walk).


Looking for a quiet non-smoking sitter, preferably a single person as that's what the cats are used to. Needs to be willing to stay overnight each night in my house with the cats, NOT just visits. They are shut inside at night and are pretty good at turning up for dinner (I shut the cat door before feeding them) or coming when their names are called or treat bags are shaken (if they're just having a really good time outside!). It's hardest at the current time when it gets dark so late into the evening so last resort is to put the cat door on inwards only and wait (after calling their names at intervals for a while). 


Bonus if you can water and keep an eye on my (novice) gardening efforts, which will generally be feline supervised if they're still outside.


After the February dates, I do have two further sets of dates for sitting, so finding someone willing to discuss/look at future sitting dates would be lovely for continuity.


Please message me if interested and available, as well as with any questions.


Thanks!

Doug finds family at Ryman

Shona McFarlane Retirement Village

Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.

The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!

What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.
