Megan Sinclair, the new product development manager at Whittaker’s in Wellington, is living that dream – albeit without the chocolate rivers – designing flavours and roasting batches of beans in her little lab on the factory floor.
It’s called the micro-lab, and within its walls there are cupboards of flavours and scents, everything from cake batter to beetroot, a mini bean roaster, and a mixing machine called a melange.
In this, she can make 12 kilogram batches to test flavours, or 45kg batches in the one in the room next door; small quantities compared to the tonnes pumped out by the main factory on a daily basis.

Not lost but missing cat

Elena from Miramar

Hi Neighbours!
Our cat Black in the last days is spending lots of time outside and barely he's visiting us. He smells of someone else's odour and it is not a surprise, he is very friendly. However, lately, I did not see him at all; it has been caught on our security camera so I know he is… View more
Hi Neighbours!
Our cat Black in the last days is spending lots of time outside and barely he's visiting us. He smells of someone else's odour and it is not a surprise, he is very friendly. However, lately, I did not see him at all; it has been caught on our security camera so I know he is fine but I am worried about others feeding him. He has a food allergy and he is on a special diet. He is prone to pancreatitis so it is crucial he does not eat anything else but his food. So please if you see him don't let him in and please don't feed him. He is a grey tabby with a peculiar scar on his left ear.
I live in 109 Townsend road.

Over the coming year, the average property price for Wellington would cross the $1 million mark, said Nicki Cruickshank, a real estate agent with Tommy’s Wellington. “You can't really get a three-bedroom house in Wellington under $1m now, anyway.”
Porirua City experienced a 20.8 per cent annual growth in residential property values, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt cities both experienced 17.2 per cent growth, and Kāpiti Coast 18.3 per cent.

Smokey is a rehomed cat who is loving his new life with his happy new owner.
“He is really relaxed now, loves purring and is extremely happy, although is still on guard with unfamiliar noises. Smokey started off being quite afraid of most things, but now is a well-behaved cat who is newly learning to use his scratching post, rather than a carpet! Smokey loves routine and "helps" people by sitting in their laps when they are trying to work or type. He has become an integral part of a piano teaching studio and loves both music and all the students.”
