A few near-new kids school exercise books. A couple haven't been touched, save for a name on the cover. A couple have the first 2 or 3 pages torn out. Also a couple of plastic book sleeves.

Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?
Hi all.
I am looking for a cuttlebug machine with accessories (or similar machine).
Also, any other surplus scrapbooking or card making supplies.
I can't afford a lot, but am wanting to get back into card making and scrapbooking as a creative distraction during difficult times.

Helen Moore, from Napier, sent us this sad but lovely story on Snuffy and PK.

"Snuffy, aged 17, a fierce defender of her property, a drama queen and dedicated rodent hunter. Died from kidney failure late 2018. PK, a massive show off and occasional thief, her sister, died aged 19 early in 2021, a week after my husband died. She comforted me beforehand even though she was unwell herself, snuggling up and licking the tears from my face."

Cordyline australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree, tī kōuka or cabbage-palm, is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand.
Tī kōuka grow up to 20 metres (66 feet) tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to 1 metre (3 feet 3 inches) long. With its tall, straight trunk and dense, rounded heads, it is a characteristic feature of the New Zealand landscape. Its fruit is a favourite food source for the kererū and other native birds. It is common across New Zealand.

"I am a big boy with a big personality. I wouldn't suit a home with young children. My caregivers tried bonding me with another rabbit but unfortunately it was unsuccessful, so I would love to go to a home with an existing female rabbit to be friends with. We’re happy to chat about the bonding process and what is involved. I will need a secure outdoor pen for daytime and an indoor space for night so I can be a part of the family and keep warm. Please enquire to meet me with SPCA’s Small Animals Team today."
