We use less than a teaspoon of sugar in each of the buns which gives them the colour and texture that makes them perfect for burgers.

The 2020 ride will be a solo event to comply with social distancing rules and we will be riding on the same day and for the same cause, but it will be solo... Socially distanced, but globally connected.
Last year, 116 000 riders from 104 countries raised 6 million USD for The Movember Foundation.
This year is different, due to the current situation, we do not have a target but working together to raise what we can to help with men's mental health and prostate cancer research
Prostate cancer affects more men than any other cancer, taking the lives of 307,000 men each year. That number is surpassed by 500,000 men dying from suicide.
Please reach out and give what you can, help support me on my ride by going to www.gentlemansride.com... and making a donation.
From the bottom of my heart,
Your neighbour,

The tuatara exhibit at Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium has been upgraded with help from the Department of Conservation.

Four tuataras have settled back into the improved exhibit in time for Conservation Week, where Kiwis are encouraged to explore their backyard and engage with nature.
Kelly Tarlton’s lead aquarist Felix Berghoefer said tuatara have been at the aquarium since 2016.
“They act as ambassadors for their species and help us educate visitors on the way tuatara live in New Zealand, what threats they face in the wild and how we can help support these incredible native animals,” he said.
“Tuatara were once widespread on the mainland of New Zealand. Sadly, introduced predators like rats, stoats, feral cats and possums have made it too dangerous for them now on the mainland, except in predator-free sanctuaries including some islands in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.”
Tuatara are endemic to New Zealand and are the last surviving species of Rhynchocephalia, an order of lizard-like reptiles that traces back to more than 200 million years ago, when dinosaurs walked the earth.
The tuatara at Kelly Tarlton’s are around 7 years old and originate from Takapourewa Island, at the northern end of the South Island.
Kelly Tarlton’s is currently closed to the public due to Alert Level 3 restrictions.
Conservation week will run from August 15 to August 23. People can explore the aquarium online through a virtual tour, accessible from the Kelly Tarlton’s website.
Hi neighbours, the Ministry of Health has announced the public places where people who have tested positive for coronavirus during the past two weeks have been to. Stuff has compiled them here.
