Generosity follows cancer diagnosis

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

You might remember the story of Dave and Liz Evans - who found out Dave was terminally ill just months after moving to New Zealand.
The pair said they had a "terrible" work-life balance back in the UK, and moved to New Zealand for the Kiwi lifestyle and the beaches.
But Dave, 44, was diagnosed with terminal cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) in February, soon after the move.
The couple's story has prompted an outpouring of support.
A Stuff reader let them stay at his beachside home in Tairua, meals are cooked for them by members of the Residents of Flagstaff Facebook group, a neighbour goes for daily walks with Dave, and another drove to Auckland Airport to pick up Dave's parents.

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!
