He recently spotted a sooty tern in the Waikanae Estuary, where he is a regular photographer.
“I had taken a walk along the sandspit to have a look at the white-fronted tern flock there - not expecting to see any interesting birds - and I was stunned to see this lovely brown bird amongst them again...With the sun right behind me, I crawled very slowly holding my camera in front of my face until, after about 20 metres of inching over hot sand, I got within a few metres of it. It wasn't aware of my presence, so I just lay there and took over 100 shots before backing away.”
These versatile holders can be used to display favourite photos or for handmade place cards at a special dinner party. Paint them to co-ordinate with your room's décor or your party theme.

And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

With a year of such uncertainty, make this a sure thing by purchasing quickly.
All events at Kapiti Playhouse require vaccine passes. Masks are mandatory and social distancing is in place with reduced numbers and table seating. So, don't delay, book today!
I don’t like the taste of most tap water. I find Kapiti water often has a chemical taste, so I prefer to drink bottled water (for which I am criticised… lol). Is it just me, or do others find our water distasteful?

Wonky Box is a subscription food delivery service run by Angus Simms and Katie Jackson, delivering odd-shaped and excess fresh produce, grown locally in Kāpiti and Wairarapa, to homes around Wellington.
Since Wonky Box launched ahead of the August 2021 lockdown it has grown a customer base of nearly 500 Wellington homes, saving 20 tonnes of food from landfill during the latest lockdown alone.

Hope you’ll get on board this campaign. Petition at our.actionstation.org.nz..., or see www.allrailways.co.nz....
Campaign instigator Patrick Rooney says: I believe we have a real chance to bring back withdrawn passenger services, but we need to show there is public support. And we have limited time to do it.
Passenger rail has an important place in our future but requires investment and planning for the future. Here are some reasons why:
• Rail provides a more sustainable and climate friendly method of transport across the country.
• Rail can invigorate the social and economic life of small communities by making them accessible to remote workers and tourists.
• Trains can bring our diverse country together by connecting them to people and landscapes across wide distances.
• Trains provide an accessible method of point-to-point transport for the elderly, disabled people, and people without cars.
• With the right Government support trains can provide affordable transport for people on low-income.
• Less cars on the roads can help to make our roads safer.
If you'd like to get more involved in the campaign email Patrick (patrick@allrailways.co.nz)
