Great … View moreI have a spin bike for sale to anyone who wants to make an offer. Just want to clear some space. It is solid and in excellent condition. Probably hasn't had a lot of use to be fair as I bought an E bike. I am not unrealistic so if you want to try it feel free to contact me on my mobile. Great for someone who does a bit of road cycling or just wants to keep fit.

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!

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.
