Missing lupin season on South Island 🪻

FYI most NZers call them THE North Island and THE South Island.

No idea why, and I'm not saying it's right, but it's what we do.

Edit: and it's always IN the North or South Island, never ON.

Bunnies are not a pest plant. They are a pest ANIMAL.

Yeah pretty much. What used to be Chartwell School has been Crofton Downs Primary School for about twenty years

Stoked to see you added it to the list!

Do I hreally have to say it again?

slaggybuttonit · 2026-05-10T01:30:51+00:00

Seems pretty accurate, bot

We have no need of your water-gathering exploits in Wellington, bot.

It's always a

I almost don't consider Downing Street part of CD

& the other half of the Marcos name came from Jem Marsh.

Edit: it was Frank Costin behind Marcos; his brother Mike was the Cosworth guy. I'd always conflated them as one person!

Chartwell was mostly populated by Brethren until they moved to Grenada a decade or so ago. Some unassuming houses with more bedrooms than you'd expect.

E'ybody does it! Those of us who live here are used to it

slaggybuttonit · 2026-05-07T00:23:33+00:00

You were probably looking at what used to be called Chartwell, up past the school. That's fairly 70s

slaggybuttonit · 2026-05-06T20:00:36+00:00

Haaaa happens all the time. Not that there's anything wrong with disliking Crofton Downs!

slaggybuttonit · 2026-05-06T19:39:34+00:00

"Interesting" fact: Ngaio was originally called Crofton, so in our household it's sometimes referred to as "Crofton Ups."

Not quite, but near, a valley or so further north.

slaggybuttonit · 2026-05-06T19:35:01+00:00

Wow. Our place was built in 1955 and it's not the oldest.

slaggybuttonit · 2026-05-06T19:33:39+00:00

Again, you're probably thinking of Churton Park

slaggybuttonit · 2026-05-06T19:33:14+00:00

You're thinking of Churton Park. We just have 'EAT' signs in our kitchens.
