Heretaunga Bookfest 2022
Good news all you bibliophiles, the sale which was postponed from May will now be on 29 and 30 October 2022. We will do our usual advertising nearer the time but this is just a heads up for everyone to note in your diaries. Keep an eye on our website also for any updates in the meantime. www.bookfest.org.nz...
We will also have smaller sale at the Trentham Racecourse Boot Sale on 30 July plus be at the Upper Hutt Spring Festival on 10 September. Hopefully we will be at the racecourse Night Market on 18 November as well.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
