We are in Weatherly Road in Torbay (near Geoffrey Road) so if everyone could please check their gardens and trees (she could be hiding in the branches) and let us know if you have seen her. If you do see her, she could come to you if you crook your finger and offer to scratch the back of her head. She is our "baby", so please help us to get her home. Thank you.

Hi neighbours. Remember police Sergeant Guy Baldwin, who rose to fame in 2009 for his expression "always blow on the pie"?
Well he's back, this time with a message for Kiwis: Stay home and help break the chain of coronavirus.
"This thing (coronavirus) is an invisible dragon. Please, stay home. Let's break the chain and save lives. If we follow the rules, we'll end this lockdown sooner. Let's slay this dragon, and get back to doing the things we love, like eating pies."
