In 2020, 27% of a household’s weekly budget was spent on takeaways so it’s no wonder that cooking is becoming a bit of a lost art.
Alongside sewing and knitting, what other vital skills do you think are at risk of being lost?

Hi Tea on a Sunny Sunday afternoon
Kapakapanui Lions recently hosted a Hi Tea garden party in a Waikanae garden. About 60 ladies and a few men partook in tea and coffee with lots of goodies to eat. We had a few raffles and some background music supplied by two lovely Paraparaumu College students. $1700 was raised for The Sweet Louise charity which supports women with terminal breast cancer.
A lovely day was had by all.
The council has voted to end Te Uruhi/Kāpiti Gateway project. Please tell us what you think and put NFP if you do not want us to use your comments in print.

"This is not the best photo of a variable oystercatcher - it's not even the best photo I took that day, but it is interesting. I noticed he/she was tagged - meet CT7. I snapped him/her in the Hutt Estuary on 12 January and sent a report off to the Banding Office as you do and got back a very interesting report about the bird.
He/she was banded on Bell Island, Waimea Inlet, Tasman on 28/05/2022 in his/her 2nd year. Sex is unknown. CT7 is a busy chap, since banding this bird has been re-sighted at Saxton Field, Stoke, Nelson on 28/06/2022 and 19/07/2022. This bird is part of a research study on the morphometrics, population trends, longevity and movements of variable oystercatchers in the Golden/Tasman Bays region.
So, if you see CT7 don't forget to report him/her to the banding office.
Variable oystercatcher/ tōrea (Haematopus unicolor). Bird #14 in 2023.
