SLOW DOWN, please
SLOW DOWN, please. On Monday evening/night-Tuesday morning our beloved 1yr old cat Spike was hit and killed by a car at the bottom of Heathcote Rd. We of course are devastated to loose our precious fur baby, who we have only had for 9 months. I know cats are notorious for running out on roads and getting hit/hurt/killed but I can't help but think that if the car that hit her was going slower around the corner from Seaview Rd or across from Commodore Parry up into Heathcote Rd, she would have had time to get across, out of the way and would still be alive today. I know cars speed around that corner, it is wide, and up the short sharp hill to the first corner, sometimes infact all the way, we hear at least one car regularly racing up from the bottom of the Heathcote Road, but I feel she should have had time to escape as it was 5-10 meters from the corner. Sadly that was not the case so, to save another cat and their family from heartache I implore you all to please slow down when you come into Heathcote Rd and don't be tempted by the wide access to put your foot down and speed up the hill. Thank you.

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!
