Police say they are "racing against the clock" to find a 75-year-old.

He went missing on Wednesday from Milton Court Rest Home in Orewa, north Auckland. He was last seen walking northbound on the Hibiscus Coast Highway near Hatfields Beach around 5pm, wearing a red and black jacket and blue jeans.​

Police need to know if he had been picked up and driven to a different location, and people are asked to check their sheds and properties as he may have sought shelter.
Anyone with information is asked to urgently contact Police on 105.

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!
