Good morning everyone
Due to the circumstances of COVID-19 the country is in lockdown.
But as I fall into the category of animal welfare, I am still OPEN. If anyone needs urgent care and are unable to care for their puddy(ies) I am available. I pray that wont happen.

Due to the circumstances of COVID-19 the country is in lockdown.
But as I fall into the category of animal welfare, I am still OPEN. If anyone needs urgent care and are unable to care for their puddy(ies) I am available. I pray that wont happen.
Please everyone Keep Safe and we will get through the next 4 weeks quickly.

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.
Level 4 measures will likely be in place for a number of weeks.
Don’t worry. During that time you will still be able to access all the essentials you need, including medicine, food, and other home supplies.
ALL THE TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS
It’s incredibly important that we all follow the Level 4 plan, all the time. No exceptions. Because doing so will save lives.
A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE
We realise these are big changes. But these are challenging times.
If we don't all stay home, the whole country will need Level 4 restrictions for longer.
SUPPORT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE PEOPLE
We owe it to the essential services. Our nurses, doctors and everyone else on the frontline. They’re working tirelessly to save lives. We should all do everything in our power to help them do this.
Thank you to each and every person, for doing their bit.
While you’re staying at home:
STAY CONNECTED
• Don’t let physical distance stop you staying connected. Keep in touch with people using video calls, phone calls, chat and texting.
• If you know people who are living alone, vulnerable, or separated from their loved ones, regularly check-in with them.
STAY WELL
• Continue to practice good hygiene – wash your hands with soap. Then dry.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Regularly clean surfaces in your home with disinfectant.
• Keep up regular physical exercise, and get some fresh air when possible. It’s good so long as this is solitary, or only with those you live with.
REACH OUT
If you need advice, support or help, try reaching out to friends, family, whānau or workmates.
WE'RE UPDATING INFORMATION CONSTANTLY
For all the latest advice, including answers to your health and financial questions, go to Covid19.govt.nz.
And remember: what you do now, will help protect all of us.
As of tonight at 11:59pm New Zealand will move to a Level 4 alert in response to the #COVID19 pandemic. It will put the entire country on lockdown for four weeks. Here’s what that will mean for us moving forward:

We are passionate about bringing like-minded individuals together to explore this beautiful landscape we call our backyard and are ready to go full steam ahead with our next tour the moment it is safe to do so.

Hi there
Does anyone know if there are people out there coordinating rosters and food delivery to our older neighbours here in the Wairarapa?
Really keen to be part of any effort in this regard.

If anyone has a warm glasshouse and would like to see if they can push these little Tomato seedings along you could well get some fruit. They will not grow outside fast enough now as it is too late in the year.
The Tomato is an oval red cherry tomato about the size of a quail's egg.

There is at least ten plants.
Happy to pass them on for a donation of what they are worth to you.
I also have some fresh parsley seed here. I have found Parsley hard to strike but if I scatter the seed and it comes up by itself I weed out the plants I don't want and it seems to do well. I will give you heaps of seeds so you can't miss getting a strike.
Thanks for looking. Happy for a small donation.

There are plenty of ways to keep in touch and support one another over the next several weeks. Just don't forget about those with limited internet or mobile phone access!
