We are only allowed to travel for essential 
food and supplies. 
Public transport will only be allowed if we are travelling to work or school.
Restaurants, cafes and bars will not open physically but will be open for pick up.

Now that we are in level 3 we must obey the rules and stay home if you don't need to go anywhere.

ANZAC Day From Our Bubbles!

Since we are all stuck in quarantine until the next Tuesday we aren't allowed to gather together and have an ANZAC parade. Although we are still in level 4 lockdown that doesn't mean that the Wairarapa community of Tinui will not have their celebration. 

Organizers said that they didn't want to break the law so they're going to broadcast on TV. Jacinda Ardern has also decided to stand at the end of her driveway at dawn to celebrate ANZAC day!

Alert Level Three!


As most people know, New Zealand is moving to alert level 3 on Monday next week at 11:59 pm . Somey students might start going to school and some will stay home and continue to do distance learning. 

Now that we're moving to level 3 a lot of workers will start work again and be getting paid. Many fast food companies are opening with takeaway options only and we will be able to see our family again. In my opinion, I'm actually happy we're moving to level 3 since we will be able to travel more.

Feijoas!

New Zealand is now set for a bumper Feijoa crop in 2020. Whats surprising is that the droughts that have been happening around many regions are whats been helping this delicious fruit grow. Many growers have been saying that their crops are 20% higher than last year.

 This huge crop will be available from April to June. Eating Feijoas are very important during Autumn and Winter as they have a lot of Vitamin C to fight off colds, the flu and bugs.

Baldwin Street Reclaimed It's Title!


Dunedin, New Zealand has reclaimed it's title as having the steepest street in the world! Around July last year Ffordd Pen Llech in Harlech, Wales was announced the steepest street until this year when The Guinness Book of Records has admitted that their measuring methods then were wrong. 

This change has happened due to a person named Toby Stoff who had argued saying that FPL known as the "Steepest Street In The World" at the time was a curve!
