412-gramme Feijoa!

Hugh from Avonhead

My neighbour has just grown what seems to be a near-world-record feijoa. 412 grammes. The biggest we can find reference to on the internet, is a record of 423 grammes. Does anyone have any other information about these?

Oh, and those are full-sized coke and baked-bean tins - not those mini sizes.

Stolen Ford Laser

Vanessa from Bishopdale

Have you seen this much-loved 1995 Ford Laser? 91-yr-old owner (in the photo) is devasted at its theft from Christchurch Botanic Gardens last month. It was in pristine condition and has a lot of sentimental value.

Hey neighbours, did you know...

Ivan Donaldson​ first planted a small vineyard in Canterbury soil in the seventies as a hobby.

The vineyard was one of the first ones to be planted in the region and quickly turned into a love of wine for the former neurologist, who sought to pursue winemaking as a full-time career.

This year, the family celebrates three decades since Ivan first released a Pegasus Bay vintage from his garage, with the responsibility now resting on eldest son and winemaker Mat Donaldson​, who has since produced the next 27 of the family’s 29 vintage wines.

The winery now exports to more than 25 countries.
