White self contained small minivan today at Rothesay bay
We are local and visit the beach as its within our small community and walking distance, today I was concerned, as there was a self contained, very small minivan parked for most of the day, with the owner spending all the time outside, sitting on benches, railings etc. There is no way that one could isolate in a vehicle of that size or have facilities to do so. I'm not judging the person, but the rules are clear in that people need to stay in the confines of their neighbourhood and home and that the mandate was the same for campervans. We do have a camper van also, so not dissing on that, but we live in Rothesay bay, in our home and our bubble and certainly would not be jumping in our camper to go anywhere. The concern is that people living in vans are not staying put in the one place that they were mandated to Wednesday last week, which is a big risk to everyone. I didn't have my phone so didn't get a rego, but I urge people to be careful and to keep an eye out, and also to not be sitting on park benches etc- this virus lives on surfaces. The government should be providing specific places for all people living in vans, campers, but like us all there should be no or limited mobility between anyone in any neighbourhood.

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?
