Whilst out walking at Lower Hutt, Wellington recently I came upon this community library on Hill Road. Isn’t it fantastic?! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw these two fridges and the sign ‘Little Local Library’ at the road-side. They were absolutely packed with books and it just goes to show what can be achieved for a community with a little creativity.

It was a real reminder what we can each make a difference to those around us.

I was also smitten with these thick, hairy tree fern fronds that were waiting to unfurl and their smaller counterparts. They were curled tightly, packed with potential and ready to greet the world.The ‘koru’ is a spiral shape based on the shape of those new unfurling silver fern fronds and it symbolises new life, growth, strength and peace. What a beautiful symbol for the day.
