Kāpiti's spring, which as usual, began in August has been particularly dry, receiving less than half its usual September rain to-date, so the 40mm of gentle showers over the the last two days are also to be celebrated.

He is a 2-year-old male tabby, missing since the end of November 2024 from Duncan's Way/Ngaio Street, Otaki Beach. Unfortunately, he has no microchip. We have contacted our old neighbors and set up a cat trap at four different addresses in Otaki, but so far, we have had no luck. We have also distributed flyers in mailboxes around Otaki Beach and received some sightings, but none have been confirmed. His cat tower blankets and our clothing have been placed outside. If you have any information or photos, please contact us at 02041645511 or send a private message. We are grateful for your help. Thank you.
Summerset’s Nationwide Open Day is on Sunday 5 October. All 38 of our villages are open from 10am to 2pm.
