Needing a car seat for visiting family????
We are NEW having taken over from the Plunket car seats ( when they closed in November 2016) We are non profit and trying to keep this valuable service still available for the community. If you need a car seat for anyone visiting South Canterbury short term, we have it - baby capsules through to booster seats. We are also now doing longer term hires on baby capsules, having just received a generous donation from the Ami Insurance team in Timaru, who ran a quiz night for us. So if we can help with either, please visit our Facebook page South Canterbury Child Restraint Rentals or ph 0224153712 or email d.kingan@xtra.co.nz

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
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.

Some Choice News!
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!
