Coffee, good food and a bargain hunt… my kind of Saturday! ☕🛍️

We popped along to support Manna Cafe’s very first Thrift Market in Edgecumbe, and wow, what a hit!!

So much pre-loved goodness to browse, shopping at a fraction of the price and a bite to eat in between. Winning! 🙌

Well done to the Manna Cafe team and all the stallholders. Lovely to see people getting behind something new right here in our town 💛

Did you find a bargain? Show us your favourite find in the comments! 👇

Went along to cheer on our duck… came home with a phone full of photos! 😂🦆

Such a fun afternoon at the Life Ed Duck Race at Port Ōhope Wharf. Beautiful weather, food trucks, face painting and so many people getting behind a great cause. We loved it! 💛

Huge thanks to the Life Ed team, all the sponsors, volunteers and local businesses who made it happen.

Have a look through the photos and tag anyone you spot! 📸 See ya next year!
