I know people were interested to know about Blossoms journey. She is going to a very caring centre, where she will be handled, and got ready for a good home. There will be tears as I say goodbye to her. 💕

Blossom a black and white long hair female cat, really needs a loving human to care for her, and love in return. She was abandoned in the Red Beach area, and was trying to survive as best she could,by coming in through our cat door and eating my foster cats food.
I started feeding her, she was very thin, and she is filling out nicely, and is losing her fear of people.
In fact she sleeps on my bed now,and loves to be stroked,petted,and get as close to me as possible! she’s still nervous when I stand up though.
I don’t know her age, but she is a young cat.
My foster cat is long term, she is extremely nervous, and isn’t happy having another cat around,so I need to find a home ASAP for Blossom.

A light brush with the nettle on your leg or arm, can leave you with a tingling sensation that persists for 24 hours.
Ongaonga has been linked to unexplained deaths of people walking through a dense patch and being overcome. With this mind, I decided to have a go cutting back a particularly annoying patch on our main track to the paddock we call, Waterses.
The Ongaonga bushes were above and below the track so I had to form a strategy so that I would safe. I found a large set of old tree branch loppers (giant secateurs) in the shed and then opted to take a piece of cloth, that used to cover our cool display cabinet in my old café.

Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?

Kia ora Neighbours, A contested decision by politicians on the Upper Harbour Local Board to mow down 8,000 native plants and young trees, could bring a hefty bill. Council staff reject that there was a mistake in the planting, and now there could be a big bill. What do you think ?
