Sixties pop culture comes to Masterton
A Masterton bookseller’s relationships with some icons of rock ’n’ roll culture are still bearing fruit in the form of an exclusive photographic exhibition.
The show at Aratoi gallery in Wairarapa later this month will display images from Michael Cooper’s spectacular limited-edition book on the 60s pop culture, Blinds & Shutters. Masterton bookstore owner and publisher David Hedley of Hedleys Books was an editor and co-publisher, with Genesis Publications UK, of the book, which featured 600 photographs of the era.
During his time working in London in the 1980s Hedley got to know such cultural luminaries as George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Dennis Hopper.
He worked closely with Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, who was one of the editors of the Blinds & Shutters, a project which was born out of the discovery of Cooper’s horde of negatives in the late 1980s

Has anybody got a concrete or water filled hand roller that they don't need anymore. I'm putting down a new lawn and need it to compact the dirt down.

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!
