Good on ya #Ōtepoti #knitters.
"But as word of Crofters Yarn’s troubles spread across Dunedin, the community stepped up to help. ... the knitters rallied and began meeting at the Arthur Street School Library, Cobb & Co, The Corner Store cafe and Toitū Museum several times a week.
But the biggest response was still to come. To Aitken’s amazement, attendance at the public knitting sessions has exploded, and knitter numbers have tripled over the past few weeks. " -
I enjoyed this lovely video of my old home town, Dunedin/Ōtepoti and its heritage buildings in the central city. Great to see the Vogel Street Kitchen shown - always my favourite port of call for a breakfast when I am visiting. I must admit the word 'heritage' can be a bit triggering sometimes as it is so often associated with white privilege in suburbs like Thorndon or Mt Eden where it is used as a justification for keeping the poors at a distance. That doesn't seem to be the case in Dunedin/Ōtepoti at least.

Last evening (Sunday), just before 8pm, our (short) street in #Ōtepoti Dunedin filled up with fire appliances. An electrical fault in our neighbours' house caused a fire. (What caused the electrical fault is being investigated). The family are all OK; the house is a complete mess, mostly smoke damage, but they can't move back until major reinstatement work has been done. The house is taped off for now, and they were able to stay with another neighbour last night. Now it's a motel for as long as it takes.
The Fire Service teams were absolutely fantastic.Not so great - this morning at least half a dozen people / groups of people drove up our short, no exit, street - obviously just to have a look 😡😡.
Very intrusive, and really upsetting for our neighbours. -
