Local ‘Bike-lady’ Jan Nisbet talks about the new cycle path that will soon be constructed from Raumati South to Paekakariki. This will be a huge asset to our local commuters. Jan also has some very creative ideas to make the ride itself a destination. For more info you can also check out their facebook page here: Friends of the Queen Elisabeth Park.

The proposed cycle route is still pretty wild!

Ian Athfield Tribute. I play a street recording of ‘When The Saints Go Marching In’ played by friends and colleagues of the late architect Ian Athfield at his memorial service on 1st February in Civic Square in Wellington.

Avant Gardener Hannah Zwartz discusses watering (or not) in the heat of Summer. We talk of the horrid psyllid bug attacking tomatoes, and shield bugs, and white cabbage butterflies.
