We recent featured a photo sent to us from Robina Davies who was trying to identify those in the picture from her mother's collection.

Her mother was Olive Whitelaw, who played cricket for Wellington Technical College Old Girls. She suspected it might be from before 1939.
Journalist and sports historian Ron Palenski has come up with a name for us.
"I'm pretty sure the pic is of Violet Aline Caton and Stuart Dick on their wedding day at All Saints', Kilbirnie, on Feb 26 1944.
The big clue was women in the uniform of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps presenting a bouquet of vegetables; another clue was that it was most likely a newspaper photo because of the quality.
Stuart Dick is wearing an RSA badge in the photo. He was a sergeant in the 25th Battalion."
He even attached a picture of the gravestone.
This could be a toughie but for a hint, it is one of Wellington's most well known buildings.

They were wearing white and yellow Japanese fortune charms as in the photo (left) and were in a blue drawstring bag (right top). There is also a small tag “NativeZ Made in New Zealand” (right bottom) attached to them.
They have been with us for over 15 years since our first visit to NZ and have shared all the memories of our life in Aotearoa.
Any information to Yusuke (021456580) or Nanase (021456510) would be much appreciated.

Hello neighbours!
I'm on the hunt for a bike rack to put on my bike, and a bike bag. Would love to purchase second hand before I drop $200 on new gear hehe. Does anyone have spares they would be willing to sell?
Thanks!

The dog shelter, which has been on site for 53 years, is getting an upgrade to its facilities and security systems, including new cages, self-contained kennels, a plumbing refurbishment, and improved security cameras installed.
The upgrades are estimated to cost $120K and be completed by the end of February.

Turuwhaenua got the job after his grandfather encouraged him to move to Wellington to complete a trade training programme run by the Government's Māori Affairs department in 1961 when he was 16.
He has worked out of KiwiRail's mechanical depot in Thorndon, where he's currently based, for much of his career but also worked at the workshop in Woburn, Lower Hutt, for a time.
Can any one help (at some cost) today please?
