Poll: Service at Smith City in Blenheim

Janelle from Fairhall - Renwick - Woodbourne

Good, bad or otherwise.
Is anyone else experiencing the same lack of service at Smith city.   I waited 20 minutes for someone to serve me and in the end I walked out without buying anything......same thing happened to a friend of mine this morning.  Friday last week I watched an older lady wait at least 20 minutes just to try and pay her bill and she couldn't get any service, and like me left without even talking to anyone.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
