Clean Up Event 2017

Today 21people including James ,Ashlyn, and Lorenzo went to the local awa Ngaruroro. Its full name was, Ngaruroro moko tuararo ki rangatira, which was given by Ruawharo, one of the tohunga or priests aboard the Takitimu waka when it arrived in Hawke's Bay hundreds of years ago.
We all gathered with one purpose. To clean the litter away from our awa.
We hold regular clean up events at the awa to educate the community about the environmental damage that is happening. This week was also Keep New Zealand Beautiful Clean Up Week.
We collected and picked up litter for just over an hour. James worked hard carrying the recycling bag. It was getting heavier and heavier but he was still determined to fulfil his role as kaitiaki. He climbed over banks to gather litter carrying his bag. We (Paula and James) talked about the litter and the concerns we shared.
We meet up with Juliet, Cassie, and Cheri and helped them gather a large pile of litter that was from a household dumping. It included a Dyson Vacuum cleaner, flat screen TV, overalls and other bits and pieces. Tina cleaned up a pile of car parts. We believe we could have put a car together with all the parts collected.
We were pleased to have Paul Bailey the Hawkes Bay Regional Councillor join us. Paul and his partner found a huge pile at the other end of the awa clean up area, consisting of another household dumping. Paul was able to get addresses and names from the mail.
He was going to follow up on this.
We came back together as a group and planted three new native trees. Near the picnic table to remember what we had done and what we would like the future to look like.
We shared some scones and soup and a few stories and then it was time to go home.
Photos have been put on facebook and a whole new world of conversations has been provoked. Let’s hope our actions get some reaction and creates more kaitiaki. We also wait with anticipation to hear from the council the weight of the litter collected.
Someone to Valet over next few months and may be a few to do as our Retiree has retired!!!!!!

Hello to all neighbour's I am hoping someone would have a natural spray recipe for passion fruit. Last year was heart breaking to see a good vine demolished by those shocking passion fruit hoppers. If possible we are trying to go green on all our plants including roses.

What's your fave cake? Mine is pear and rum cake. I am a huge fan of lemon anything, but have yet to find a lemon cake recipe that is moist enough and doesn't over-colour when baked.. one of my life's missions (I lead a sorry little existence hehe)

Here's my recipe for Pear & Rum cake:
1&1/2c sultanas
1c water
3c peeled and diced pears
1/2c marsala or rum (I’ve only ever used rum or masala – rum you can taste in the cake, marsala not so much)
1&1/2t baking soda
190g butter
1c and 3T sugar
2 large free range eggs
1t vanilla essence
2&1/2c plain white flour
1T baking powder
1t cinnamon
1t ginger
1t mixed spice
1t ground cloves
Bring the sultanas and water to a simmer, let them bubble away for 5 mins. Add the pears, baking soda and booze then turn off the heat, cover and leave to cool.
Cream the butter and sugar before adding the other ingredients.
Gently combine the wet with the dry and bake in a pre-heated 180 deg oven for approx 45 mins til cooked.
I line my baking tin but don’t think it’s critical, greasing it would be tho!
(No idea what size tin I use sorry, it's just "the pear cake tin"!) ;)
Serve dusted with icing sugar and with soft whipped cream as a dessert. Or cold with just the icing sugar dusting.
I have put pecans on the top of this before baking, that was a fab touch.
I have subbed in apples and they're good too!
This recipe never fails and even people who don't like pears or rum will scoff it happily.
PS If you wanted to share your fave recipe, I know I wouldn't complain - I am *that* person who tears a page out of a magazine with a recipe on it (well, not so much now, I tend to take a photo of it but before I had a cell phone you'd see me carefully watching everyone in the room to see if anyone could tell I was nicking off with the page I wanted) :-D
