Feeling Cultured-Join us for a cultured day out!
Its all aboard on November 5th, as we head to Featherston to discover C’est Cheese, an institution for fromage fans from far and wide. You’ll find cheese for every set of taste buds as we are taken through a tasting, from French-style blues to cumin flecked gouda, including local favourites Kingsmeade cheese from Masterton and Drunken Nanny from Martinborough. Lunch today is at The Offering in Greytown, a firm local favourite-we even have sometime for a bit of early Christmas shopping. We then make our way to Masterton for a peak behind the scenes at Aratoi Museum of Art and History, as our guide reveals the hidden treasures and the stories behind them.

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.

Some Choice News!
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!
