🍊🌿 Do You Have a Tree Laden with Fruit? 🌿🍋

As I drive through Orewa and the neighbouring suburbs, I see so many beautiful trees full of fruit—lemons, mandarins, oranges, and more.
If you have one of these in your garden and more produce than you can use, we’d love to help you share the extra with local families and community groups who would truly appreciate it.

We can pick and pick up — it’s easy, it’s local, and it makes a real difference. 💚

🎨 SENIORS DAY OUT – A STEP BACK IN TIME 🏡

In May, we visited the McCahon House Museum in Titirangi — and what a fascinating experience it was! It’s truly incredible to see how the McCahon family lived and created in such a humble, compact space, nestled in native bush and full of creative energy. 🌿✨

We explored a powerful collection of photographs, voice recordings, video footage, and personal writings that brought this iconic Kiwi artist’s story to life.

And in the photo — yes, those are the boys’ bunk beds, which astonishingly had only three walls, opening out onto the bush. That’s right — the fourth wall was nature itself. 🌲

We began the day with a lovely lunch at Deco Eatery, where good food and great company made it a day to remember. 🍽️💬

Every outing brings fresh perspectives, meaningful connection, and shared memories.

Choice News Tuesday: Kākāpō will be getting busy in 2026!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

The kākāpō, our famously lovable but critically endangered land-parrot, are forecast to have a massive breeding season in 2026 - perhaps the biggest on record!

The kākāpō, our famously lovable but critically endangered land-parrot, are forecast to have a massive breeding season in 2026 - perhaps the biggest on record!

How do we know? Kākāpō only 'get busy' during rimu mast events (where rimu grow heaps of fruit), every 2-4 years. Because we can anticipate rimu mast events, and kākāpō love rimu fruit, we can predict kākāpō breeding activity.

Since there are only 242 kākāpō today, this bumper season is important.

This positive outlook on population numbers is especially exciting since, due to the mahi of conservationists, the kākāpō have completed their first season on the North island (at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari). The booming of the kākāpō has not been heard on the North Island of Aotearoa for over a century!
