Stallholder portrait - Debbie's Dog Treats
Debbie’s stall is quite the opposite of a dog’s breakfast – all the delicacies for the town’s pooches are neatly aligned and labelled. Her love of dogs got her to find the Dog Treats she is selling on Thames Market. “I started buying seconds, things that might end up as waste but are gourmet food” for any canine. The treats, venison ears, wind pipes etc., are smoked, and dried, and packed in “fully compostable packaging, made from corn starch”. The packaging has another advantage. “If the dogs get into the cupboard to steel treats, they won’t choke” because the packaging material will just dissolve in their mouth. Debbie’s stall is a magnet for dog lovers also for another reason – her three-legged rescued dog Tessa. After an accident one front leg had to be amputated but that didn’t change Tessa’s friendly nature – she likes people and people like her. “She is quite famous and some people come especially to say hello to her”, says Debbie.
Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
