Pet of the Day: Trixie from Ranui
Catherine Polson is the proud mum of the very striking Trixie.
"This is my four year-old girl Trixie. She loves stirring up next doors dogs either by walking along the top of the fence looking down at them or by waving her paw through the gaps to get their attention."

Poll: Is street parking fair game?
Some people are frustrated by their neighbours or neighbour's friends parking on the street outside their house. This means they have to park further away themselves.

Summer Garden Open Days
10.30am - 3.30pm Saturdays 8th, 15th and 22nd March
34 St Johns Tce, Redwood, Tawa
Rob and I would like to invite you to share the beauty of our late summer garden during 3 Saturdays in March.
Whether contemplation in a Zen garden, relaxing by potted citrus on a Mediterranean terrace, or exploring amongst lush foliage in a jungle type setting is your wish we are sure to have something for you. The perennial border is a kaleidoscope of bright colours, the mini meadow is alive with bees and butterflies and there is so much more.
We have a terraced 633m2 property which we have developed over 30+ years into garden rooms with different themes and colour schemes.
There will also be plants for sale
Entry is by $5 donation per adult please. We use funds raised to help purchase tulip bulbs for our spring open days and to keep improving the garden for your and our enjoyment.
A portion of the funds is also donated to the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, a Wellington based biomedical research company.
