Dogs lolling beneath cafe tables while their owners sip lattes or glasses of pinot would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.
Now it is just the way Kiwis roll, with a raft of dog-friendly dining options available throughout the country. What do you think? Should dogs be allowed in cafes?

Enthusiastic volunteers are needed for the Tuia 250 commemorations in Picton/Waitohi for the visit of the Dual Heritage Tuia 250 Flotilla, from 22nd November to 25th November.
There are a broad range of roles to be filled: friendly locals are needed to help us manage visitors going on board the Endeavour replica, to check tickets and look after bags, and to be “Ask Me” ambassadors.
People interested in volunteering don't need to have any particular experience or skills, just enthusiasm and commitment. Volunteers will be well looked after and get to be part of Marlborough and Aotearoa’s history!

They suggest that owners of lifestyle blocks, farms and vineyards check their property for infestations by looking out for its purple-tinged, spikey seed heads and its lime green colour. It is a sharp, angular grass, not soft or droopy like most other grasses.
If you think you’ve seen Chilean Needle Grass, please take a photo of it, record the location and email Council at: biosecurity@marlborough.govt.nz

They want a sale and have instructed us to present all offers.
Beginning life as a renowned restaurant and currently operating very successfully as boutique accommodation, The Peppertree works very well as a function centre and would also make a superb cellar door. Located with State Highway frontage close to Blenheim and situated on the soon to open Picton to Kaikoura cycleway, it is ideally positioned to cash in on Marlborough’s growing tourism industry.
Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. The heart of the home is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large wood burner with wetback and solar heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring warmth year-round.
Encompassing four hectares and featuring organically managed vineyard and gardens, fruit trees, berry patches, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle, and horses, The Peppertree is close to being self-sufficient. The extra land also offers an opportunity for future expansion and development.
The rateable value for land and improvements is $1,520,000.
All offers requested to be received by 4 pm Wednesday 27 November 2019.
For more information or an appointment to view, please contact Michal or Tim.

You’ll see Wendy, Philip (owners) and Liz who is indispensable all standing with me, who proudly grew each and every one of 1130 beautifully healthy tomato plants all from seed, just for me. It has given me great joy to give these away as a gift to households in our community. I would encourage you all if you haven’t already, to visit their wonderful Garden Nursery at 157 Alabama Road, Blenheim.
