After talking to the great folks at No. 6 Cafe in Raumati Beach, I've been thinking (don't laugh).
Why don't we bring in a 'voluntary' 10% donation on all coffees until the end of the year?
Hopefully, this would help the cafes we love to recover from the grievous blows … View moreAfter talking to the great folks at No. 6 Cafe in Raumati Beach, I've been thinking (don't laugh).

Hopefully, this would help the cafes we love to recover from the grievous blows inflicted by the Lockdown.
Helen and I are happy to do this. How about you? Customers could just add 'pay it forward' or something similar when they ordered.
If the Lockdown has shown us anything, it's shown us just what we can do when we combine to tackle a problem!

We have an injured Finch that can't fly and wondered if anyone have some in a cage and would be interested in taking this one. I think the outer joint on one wing may be damaged. We have it in a box inside and here's a photo of it. David 022 399 0742

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.
The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.
“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.
The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”
Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.
