Flowrs Manuela

One of Wellington’s favourite florist’s  has been creating a beautiful touch of nature for us at meaningful moments for 16 years this week. So in this interview we talk to owner, the lovely Manuela, about growing up on a flower farm, the challenges that face our local flower growers and what she loves about her 16 years of being on Cuba St.

P.S. Flowers Manuela was also voted Wellington’s Best Florist by Capital Magazine ( well  when they were the newspaper) Readers for 7 or 8 years in a row, this just shows what a wonderful crew of super florists they are.

I have never been much of a coke drinker, but I always assumed that the named  ‘Cola’ would be a key ingredient in the drink. Not so! In this interview with Simon Coley and Wellington’s Matt Morrison of , they talk about the crazy idea of actually putting the REAL Cola Nut in their Karma Kola. And amazingly this has been great for the people who grow it from a village called Boma in Sierra Leone and great for business as they got to take out the award for the “Worlds Fairest Trader”. Go this small kiwi company.

Jo Randerson and Julian Raphael – sing it to my face

SING it to my FACE, sounds a bit confrontational, and it just might get that way as an inter-generational choir will battle out their thoughts and opinions on each other at  premiering this Friday at 7.30 and then only on Saturday at 2.30 and 7.30.

In this interview Wellington’s theater Guru, Jo Randerson of and choral champion Julian Raphael of  talk about why they wanted to draw these murmured sentiments out of kiwis and put them to music.

Please don’t miss the song Julian sings at the end written by 7 year olds. It does truly make you wonder……….
