Letter from the Editor - April 2023

After having been delayed, finally Woof – the Rainbow Dog Show was held in Western Park last month.

The judges included Suzanne Paul, Justine Smith, Thomas Sainsbury and Buckwheat. It was a fun afternoon and the weather was perfect.

The event has been running for 10 years and made possible with sponsors which included Barkley Manor, Nutrience pet food and SPCA.

Iconic New Zealand fashion brand STORM celebrated their 17th birthday in style with the opening of a new boutique in Ponsonby Road.

Creative Director Deborah Caldwell opened the first STORM boutique in 2006, and since then the brand has become known for its beautiful fabrics, prints and statement pieces with a rock-n-roll edge.

With a strong focus on timeless designs, luxurious textures, and exclusive prints, STORM is poised for continued success in the years to come.

Happy anniversary to ecostore who celebrate 30 years this month. The company has been making products that are safer for you, your family, and your world.

Helene Ravlich suggests locals embrace the chill this month. As she tells us, “April is a strange month when it comes to weather – awkwardly straddling summer and autumn with elements of each thrown joyously into the mix on any given day.

It’s most definitely leaning towards autumn though, and dressing for autumn is never as simple as it first seems.”

When it comes to easy living, apartments are the way forward for many locals. They are great for lock up and leave options. A new development - 10 JERVOIS – is planned for the corner of Jervois Road and Redmond Street.
