đź’•Further thanks being sent outđź’•

Fiona from Henderson

In these challenging times, we are forever thankful and grateful to all of those dedicated and extremely hardworking essential workers who have being working so hard on the front line and behind the scenes.
â—ľ All of the nurses and doctors who give every single ounce of themselves to keep us alive.
â—ľ All of the first responders who work ungodly hours to try and keep us safe & alive.
â—ľ All of the supermarket workers and shelf stackers who work under such trying times.
â—ľ All of the truck drivers who get our products to the supermarkets.
â—ľ All of the farmers who work tirelessly to make sure that we all have enough meat, milk, fruit & veggies to feed our loved ones.
â—ľ All of the postal workers who make sure the mail (bills) get through in time.
â—ľ All of the rubbish truck drivers and collectors for keeping out streets clean.
â—ľ All of those workers working behind the scenes, busying themselves packing up our goods that we have ordered online.
â—ľ All of those incredible workers who are in the assisted living field.
â—ľ All of the courier workers who deliver our goods to us.
â—ľ All of those people who are caring for all of the animals including the zoos

But let's not forget two very important groups either, they are:
â—ľ The various telcos who have kept on working to make sure that we have access to the internet and phones, thus allowing us to keep in touch with our loved ones and being able to order online.
â—ľ All of the power companies that have continued to provide power with the increased load in these times.
This has allowed us all to watch what we want on T.V. or computers etc ... as well as keeping up with the news and also to keep our wee ones amused with all of their various gadgets.
Fingers crossed there won't be any blackouts with this wet weather here as well as the colder temperatures kicking in.

To all of us for mostly not losing our minds while in lockdown.
Let's not forget that our kindness and compassion that we are well known for worldwide, has shown through in spades.
Well done everyone. Keep up the good work.
We can do this people, we really can.
As Jacinda said, "Stay the course, stay in your bubble and don't squander what we have achieved by giving the virus a chance it will only too readily accept if we do that."

To EVERY single person who has been working behind the scenes to keep us all safe and be able to continue living our 'new normal' lives, đź’•THANK SO VERY MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS AND KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK YOU ARE ALL DOINGđź’•

Some Choice News!

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!
