Franklin Hospice Garden Ramble
Here's a shout out for the Barfoot & Thompson Franklin Hospice Garden Ramble. It's on the weekend 12-13 November and this year has 11 Magnificent Gardens and a Christmas market. Details at www.franklinhospice.org.nz.... Tickets at the Hospice shop, Simply Giving; online; or some garden centres. See the website.
This only occurs every two years and all proceeds go to Hospice.
(Oh, and if you'd like to help out as a volunteer - either at the Ramble, generally for Hospice or both -please contact Franklin Hospice and leave contact details. Someone will be in touch)

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
