Setting off fireworks has become an annual Kiwi backyard tradition, and it’s almost time to break out the sparklers again.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.
Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.

I'm living at Foxton Beach until just before Christmas. I have been reading Tarot Cards at Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, Darwin for over 10 years. The markets run during the 6 month dry season and are now finished. So i am back home to NZ again, for the long summer.
I read the cards, so it's not a psychic reading - however, intuition does play an important part.
My readings are usually for the next 6 months. They can give some useful insight to questions - although we usually know our own answers, and a reading will often validate this.
Please message me if interested and/or have some questions and/or to make an appointment. 🌾🌾🌾

BEE SWARMS IN THE MANAWATU REGION
In the next few months we will start to see an increase in the number of bees, including bee swarms. I am a qualified bee keeper and am willing to remove and relocate any swarms found in our region for FREE of charge!
The world's Bees are dying! Some countries have LOST certain species of their Bee population and the decline is so steep they now have to hand pollinate (such as China)!
NOW is the time to be helping the bees we are blessed with here in NZ to the best we can!
Without Bees you can kiss goodbye to that cup of coffee, that indulgent moment of chocolate & all other fruits, veggies & herbs that Bees are responsible for pollinating!
I offer a FREE of charge service to remove any swarms seen around the Manawatu region, should I be able to.
Please see photos of examples of what a bee swarm looks like.
They will be in a cluster on a tree, fence, roof or literally anywhere!
Please contact me on: 0223291300
Cheers,
