Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted by Dr Kate Riegle van West to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination.

This is what she wrote about her picture.
"It was both beautiful and sobering coming across a nesting kereru (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae), aka wood pigeon, couple yesterday - I was following a grey warbler at the time. They had set up their twiggy nest in the crown of a punga tree.
The couple were so intensely private I felt like an atheist that had accidentally stumbled into a church or a mosque - big and bumbling and out of place, but in awe and still having a grotesque fascination for the stain-glass windows. I took my photos and quietly left."
With better grades comes higher self-esteem. Tutoring helps increase your child’s motivation and attitude so they are able to reach their full academic potential.

All the stakes are gone now - thanks to those who came and collected them - it was a pleasure to meet you all!

Hi neighbours - I have many (oh so many) bamboo stakes that I have cut down from my garden. There are literally over 100, so if anyone wants some - come and get 'em! They're great for staking vegies or saplings, and there are that many that I'm sure some enterprising soul can make furniture out of them :)
Let me know if you're interested and I can put some out the front of the gate.
Pick up is 101 Miramar Avenue.
Cheers
Kate

Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.
It has great views of Wellington but it need a little TLC. Wellington's air traffic control tower is for sale and could make a great home for somebody.
