Halloween ~ riverstones to remember a loved one who has passed away

Administration Team from Island Bay Presbyterian Church

We're bringing Halloween closer to its origins on Wednesday 31st, with a special way to remember loved ones who've passed away. Come and decorate a river stone, then enter the "All Hallows Lantern Garden" to place your personal memorial stone in our memory garden,Presbyterian church, 88 The Parade, Island Bay.
Come with family or a friend, any time during the evening, from 4pm - 9pm. The church's playground and memory garden will be transformed into a light and lantern extravaganza with handmade lanterns, and the church will be open throughout.
We're 100m city side (north) of the Island Bay shops.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles

Michael from Newtown

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael
