Chris Marshall Reporter from Taupō Times

This Friday, Robert Harris will shout the nation a coffee to recognise the efforts of all New Zealanders over the past few months, which has helped the nation achieve alert level one this week.

A complimentary flat white will be available to all New Zealanders from any Robert Harris cafe, nationwide.

“We’re incredibly proud of our country for what we have achieved. We want to acknowledge all the hard work done by everyone to get us to level one, by shouting the nation a coffee,” said David Thackery, head of franchise at Robert Harris.

"We’re excited to be able to operate business as usual at level one and to be welcoming our customers back to our cafes. We want to encourage our customers to bring their family and friends and enjoy a well-deserved catch up at their local Robert Harris café,” said Thackery.

The ‘Shout the Nation’ promotion is available at Robert Harris’ 37 café locations, nationwide. Simply mention the promotion to redeem a complimentary medium flat white.

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!
