Style Council

Andrea from Eden Terrace

Sweeping views across the city
My sight comes to pause upon a space
Caught momentarily by the billboards
Advertising those in the mayoralty race

Some wear their hair up and some like it down
Some wear skirts and some wear pants
Whatever their choice of clothing
They all stand for one's own politcal stance

Vote for me or vote for us
As a democratic society we have a choice
Either to go to the polling booth
Or don’t - not bothered in your freedom to win or lose

All who are pasted upon the boards
Leave you no choice to be doubtful
An example to those who take time to stare
Be sure to vote for your preference of Style Council

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!
