Clay Works @ St Columba Grey Lynn

Reverend Brent from Grey Lynn

In its 8th year, Clay Works is a showcase and sale of pottery by 40+ potters from Auckland and beyond, and a fundraiser to support St Columba Church in Grey Lynn in its community work. It is 'by invitation only' so you can be sure of the quality of the pottery. Emerging and established potters. For photos of the pottery, go to @clayworksnz.

Times: FRI 6 AND SAT 7 MAY, 10AM - 4PM

Playground for your littlies both days. Barbecued sausages, and Nell's relishes and chutneys on Saturday morning and, for the first time, we have chiropractic interns offering assessments for a koha. Please wear masks at St Columba.
Nau mai, haere mai - all welcome. (Ideally timed for Mothers Day the next day.)

Many thanks
Liz

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

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!
