In case you are trying to call me on the phone in the next few weeks... sorry, leave a message! I've just come back after a week on an offshore Island in the Marlborough Sounds – its name is Maud Island (Te Pākeka). One of those wonderful closed Island Reserves, managed by the Department of Conservation. All sorts of pretty special birds and native frogs, as well as rare insects of course. And in the water, all sorts of marine beauties, such as colourful hermit crabs. These critters move into an empty snail shell to protect themselves from being eaten by predators, live in front of your eyes! But this wasn't just a jolly trip to Paradise, it was a lot more important than just a field trip. DOC organises overnight trips for local school kids in the Marlborough Region. A dozen or so board a boat late morning and end up walking around the island with some DOC rangers, my friend Richard, and myself. And the stuff we come across is literally part of their environmental curriculum that will stick inside their brains for decades to come. Seeing these students live locally, these 24 hour education experiences are likely to be beneficial for the young locals of the future. This was teaching time for students! Wouldn't it be a great idea to have these kinds of amazing encounters for all of our kids (so they learn about the Operations Manual of Planet Earth)? One of the cool things you can do with kids on an environmental trip away, is putting on a bright light at night – especially lights with some Mercury Vapour emissions that attract the moths, beetles, flies, and all the nocturnal flying invertebrates on a nice dark night. The numbers of species can be significant, and the stories always come down to the question: “What do these creatures do, out here in the night? What's their job? What is the ecosystem service?” The research is brilliant work for teachers and the kids – it never ends! The next few weeks (in the school holidays) it's the teachers turn. The Sir Peter Blake Trust tackles a lot of environmental education in the form of virtual reality sessions whereby kids (and teachers) see the marine creatures through 3-dimensional masks, as well as the quality of our coastlines – or the not so beautiful areas destroyed by pollution and kina barrens. Gathering plankton and magnifying the incredible life. Visiting Campbells Bay rock pools, Stardome Observatory, getting into Matauranga Māori and spending a day at Tawharanui in the most wonderful forest track with rare birds, orchids and Kiwi. The whole idea is to create nature literate teachers who create cohort after cohort of nature literate kids – a key part of our Education to restore our Country and its Ecology. And you know what? I love the way we're going! LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is there anything good about pine trees? Apart from for the people who own the commercial forests, the foresters. What earthly good do they do? Sure, they bring in much-needed export earnings, an estimated $5.89 billion for the year ending June 2025. So that helps towards the GDP. But look at the costs associated with the Pinus radiata. And they're mainly on the taxpayer, not on the industry itself. The foresters have said, look, if we had to pay the true cost of cleaning up the damage, cleaning up the rubbish, cleaning up the slash, we wouldn't have a business. And when you look at the sums, you can see why. We've seen the extensive damage that slash causes to farms and to infrastructure and beaches during floods. The debris chokes rivers, creates devastating debris dams and leads to environmental disasters with long-term ecological impact. And this is creating ongoing crises for local communities, for tourism, for fisheries. And last night, Country Calendar on TVNZ1 highlighted another problem with the pine forests, wilding pines. Steve Satterthwaite, who with his wife Mary owns and operates Muller Station in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, says we absolutely need to act now to tackle the problem of wilding pines. If we don't stop these trees, eventually, the pastoral country from here to Kaikoura will succumb to being a forest of wilding pines. The downstream effects of that are water yield. So the Marlborough grape industry would be massively at risk of the rivers running dry, particularly the Awatere. And then you've got the risk of fire. If these mountain ranges got covered in pine trees, then the fire risk would be horrendous. It is so frustrating that despite it being the biggest environmental wilding disaster in New Zealand, it has not been funded at all under the national wilding conifer control programme. Well not strictly true Steve. In May of this year, the government announced a 20% increase in funding to tackle the spread of wilding pines. Then in August, it was announced that $3 million over three years of this international visitor levy revenue will go to the National Wilding Conifer Control programme, in particular for work in the Molesworth and Mc Kenzie Basin areas. This government says, and successive governments, previous governments have said that they've understood the risk that wilding pines pose to the environment. And they've said the government is focused on protecting the productive heart of New Zealand's economy. Agriculture and Forestry Minister Todd McClay said wilding pines cost the rural community significantly, often the bane of farmers' lives, we have an obligation to work with them to control their spread and reduce on-farm burden. More than 2 million hectares are affected by wilding infestations with more to come, as Steve pointed out. The baby trees are already seeding and spreading their seed. It's only going to get worse. Untreated areas are expanding by an estimated 5% each year. Left unchecked, the economic impact could reach $3.6 billion over 50 years. So you add that the cost of the cleanup of the slash to the cost of the wilding pines. Are we really making any money from our export earnings? The reason that commercial forests and the Department of Conservation planted pines were good initially, in the first instance there was a desire to prevent the spread of erosion. It was thought that the pine trees would help stabilise land. It hasn't been entirely successful in some parts of the country, but it was thought that would happen. Yet again, it's unintended consequences. Now we've got more problems really than the pines are worth, haven't we? If the foresters are saying they can't really afford to clean up after themselves, otherwise their business is unsustainable. If you look at the cost of the wilding pine control, and hasn't the horse bolted? I mean, can you ever really get it back under control now? If you look at the cost of the slash, and then you balance that with the export earnings. Is it worth it? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wilding pines, the invasive species also known as Pinus contorta, are posing a massive threat to the environment. It was highlighted on Country Calendar last by Steve Satterthwaite, who runs Muller Station in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough. He said the wilding pines don't just choke up pastoral land, there's also the downstream effect of loss of water yield into the rivers, and in Marlborough, that effects the vineyards. Federated Farmers pest animal and weed spokesperson Richard Dawkins told Kerre Woodham that more funding and support is needed to properly tackle the spread of these invasive plants. 'It is possible to get it under control, but it just comes down to resourcing, right? So we need more funding.' LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hear about travel to the top half of New Zealand's South Island as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jonty Crane from Jonty Travels about his adopted country. Why should you visit the top half of New Zealand's South Island? Jonty says that this area has "spectacular scenery, natural hot springs, beautiful beaches, world-class vineyards, and whale watching". Jonty suggests a two-week road trip (with additional optional side trips, particularly for multi-day hikes) starting in Christchurch and looping north through North Canterbury, Nelson/Tasman, Marlborough, and Kaikōura before returning to Christchurch. The trip combines cities, hot springs, alpine passes, national parks, short walks and multi-day hikes, vineyards, wildlife, and heritage.

Two Rivers 'Convergence' Sauvignon Blanc 2025, Marlborough RRP from $22.00 Pungent, ripe, varietal and high energy. Aromas of red bellpepper and apple, fresh citrus peel and white peach, there's also green mango and cape gooseberry as well as fresh basil. On the palate – youthful, equally high energy with laser-like acidity, flavours of fresh fruits led by citrus, then tropical and white stone fruit. A high energy wine best enjoyed from day of purchase through 2029. Exceptional value. Food match: One of the many classic matches with sauvignon blanc is Oysters. Not everyone can do oysters, so steamed mussels work just as well. These first two are match of contrast – salty food needs a high acid wine. Another rule with food is that a richly textured food can have a higher acid wine for contrast; a dessert with cream or ice-cream should have a high acid wine like a sweet sauvignon blanc for contrast, as well as weight from the sugar in the wine. The match options with sauvignon blanc are endless. The season: A gift to the NZ wine sector with near perfect growing conditions. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

durée : 00:58:51 - Les Grandes Traversées - Les racines du jeune Winston disent tout. Partons donc au Palais de Blenheim, où la lignée des Marlborough, dont Churchill, a vécu et grandit. Ce château, "un peu notre Versailles", raconte un Churchill aventurier, avec une destinée. Né en 1874 au Palais de Blenheim, en Angleterre, Winston Churchill a grandi près de sa grand-mère, bien plus que de ses parents, comme le voulait l'usage parmi les aristocrates de l'époque. Celui que l'on surnommait "le vieux lion" a raconté ses jeunes années dans un livre publié en 1930, My Early life. En observant cette atmosphère marquée par l'imaginaire de la guerre et des batailles à Blenheim, on comprend que le petit Winston était en vérité un "soldat né". L'écrivain en herbe Le poète franco-britannique Michael Edwards évoque la prévalence des mots dans la jeunesse de Churchill : "Son premier souvenir, c'était une phrase. Il dit qu'à l'âge de quatre ans, lorsqu'il était en Irlande, et que son grand-père, le duc de Marlborough, a inauguré, dévoilé une statue à un grand militaire, il a prononcé un discours, et Churchill pense se rappeler une phrase : 'Et d'une salve cinglante, il fracassa les lignes ennemies.' Je trouve ça très intéressant parce que la phrase est merveilleuse. Il se peut que Churchill l'ait un peu réaménagé, mais la phrase est très puissante, très anglaise et très rythmée. Il avait le sens de la langue et il avait acquis, en quelque sorte, toutes les possibilités de l'anglais. Il connaissait les ressources de l'anglais comme un vrai écrivain." Churchill le comique Une fameuse anecdote racontée par le concerné veut que le jeune Winston ait été tout à fait déconcerté par un cours de latin portant sur la déclinaison du mot "mensa", la "table". Alors que son professeur s'efforçait de lui enseigner le vocatif — "mensa" — en expliquant qu'il s'agissait du cas à employer pour s'adresser à l'objet en question, Churchill répondit malicieusement qu'il ne parlait jamais aux tables... "Ce que j'ai remarqué dans ce livre My Early Life, raconte Michael Edwards, c'est que c'est un grand livre comique. La comédie ne le quitte jamais, qu'il parle de l'armée, qu'il aimait énormément, et où il trouvait beaucoup de glamour dans le sens anglais du mot, beaucoup de panache, de couleurs, etc. Ou qu'il parle de l'école, qu'il parle de ses amis politiciens ou qu'il parle de ses discours, etc. Il y a toujours des traits d'humour." L'officier au panier percé Le jeune Churchill manquait d'argent. Bien que sa famille eût été fortunée, Winston se voyait régulièrement refuser les sommes d'argent qu'il demandait à sa mère, à 20 ans, pour satisfaire les standards de la vie d'officier. L'écrivain Eric Simon raconte : "Il a toujours eu des problèmes d'argent parce que, disons-le, il vivait vraiment au-dessus de ses moyens." Il parvint à se constituer des ressources complémentaires grâce au journalisme : "Il a commencé à avoir une dérogation de son officier supérieur pour qu'il puisse écrire des articles. À l'époque, on lui payait en article 5 pounds (...). 5 pounds, ce serait à peu près aujourd'hui 250 livres de l'article. C'est grâce à la presse qu'il a pu tenir son standing de jeune officier, fréquenter un club, offrir le Champagne et le Porto à ses amis, comme un officier devait vivre." L'écriture se frayait ainsi un chemin dans la vie du jeune homme, avant même la consécration du prix Nobel.

During the late 19th century, nearly 200 wealthy young American women were caught up in marriages with members of British and European nobility. The goal was to secure aristocratic titles that would create a solid social position for the American family wishing to climb through the snobbery of Gilded Age society. The European gentlemen, meanwhile, wanted the American funds to shore up crumbling wealth and in some cases quite literally repair the ancestral estate.   But many of these forced marriages ended in sadness, divorce or even tragedy although some grew into true love matches.  Join Carl for this ENCORE episode as he unravels the social politics of some of the most famous Gilded Age Million Dollar Princesses including the model for The Gilded Age's Gladys Russell herself - Consuelo Vanderbilt who became the Duchess of Marlborough with her marriage to the Duke. .

More than 1000 households have been left without internet or mobile coverage in Golden Bay during today's wild weather, with residents even unable to dial 111. So far, the weather doesn't appear to have been as bad as was feared for the already-sodden Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough regions still recovering from the weekend's floods. But wild weather has battered the rest of the country, thunderstorms ringing out in Taranaki, as the region experienced widespread surface flooding, with emergency operations centres being set up in New Plymouth and Hawera.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 8:30 Thanks for understand as we took time off! I watched Andor and The Resident. Chandra watched The Better Sister, Ludwig, Patience and Echo Valley. She recommends them all except for Echo Valley. We both love Murderbot. We talk about Anna Wintour's announcement that she's stepping down as editor for American Vogue. Chandra thinks Edward Enninful might have something to do with it. Wintour was in Venice for the Bezos Sanchez wedding. We know Sanchez's dress is going to be trashy. Royals: Minutes (8:30) to 29:45 We found Meghan's Confessions of a Female Founder podcast informative and inspirational. We wish we could get more AsEver raspberry spread. Chandra ordered two jars of apricot spread and I only ordered one. Some people have already received their AsEver orders. AsEver is releasing a rose wine on July first. That's Diana's birthday and a special anniversary for Harry and Meghan. Meghan has been steadily posting to social media. She's making the most headlines for a video from when she was pregnant and dancing in the hospital. It was funny and cute and the tabloids had a fit. Two reality stars at a King's Trust event recreated that dance on a staircase at the palace. You're not supposed to take personal photos or videos at royal receptions, but both the King's Trust and official Royal Family accounts commented positively on that post. We think it was a setup meant to mock Harry and Meghan but it just makes the Windsors look obsessed as usual. I play a clip from the Aspire podcast where Meghan explained why she posted that video. Camilla Tominey called it a “sexy slut drop,” which is ridiculous. This week we heard that Prince George will be going to his father and uncle's boarding school, Eton, in the fall of 2026. I looked through our archives and there are stories as far back as January, 2019 about Kate pushing for her three children to attend her alma mater, Marlborough. We assume she was forced to give in about George's school, but Louis and Charlotte are likely to go to Marlborough. Last weekend were the Royal Ascot horse races, probably the biggest social event of the year. Kate pulled out at the last minute. It was a big deal judging by the coverage. Palace staff were said to be “bewildered and worried” and a source told the Daily Beast that Kate was tired after Trooping the Colour and Garter Day and that she has good and bad days. We got several negative stories about Kate after that, mostly about how she disrespected the King, but also just rehashing older negative stories about her. There were stories hinting that she didn't feel well, which they should have focused on. Kate is reportedly planning to go to Wimbledon, which is from June 30th to July 13th. She usually goes at the end, but in 2023 she went early to sit with Roger Federer. Hello Magazine has a cover story about Kate with the title “On her own terms.” I put it on Instagram and the aspect ratio makes it say “On her own.” Chandra had two tweets about Kate which went viral this week. It feels like the palace and press are turning on Kate. She might be quite sick, but they play fast and loose with the truth and the royals minimize illness, so it's hard to tell. Chandra remembers how Princess Anne's traumatic brain injury was swept under the rug and how she returned to work with bruises. Harry and William are covering US Magazine, and the article is about how William is mad Harry isn't his scapegoat anymore. It's part of William's embiggening campaign as he tells us about his plans to be king, and it sounds like he can't wait for his father to die. The press freaked out about Harry saying he didn't know how much longer Charles has, but had only a mild response to William.

This show is brought to you in association with iDealwine. English county Essex is better known for its brash behaviour (and certain reality TV shows) than its beautiful wines. But is all that about to change?!For long, Essex was England's best kept wine secret. The grapes were sold off to producers from Kent to Cornwall, which meant their Essex origin sailed under the radar. But then came the investment - both from ambitious local families and then, in 2023, from the highly regarded US wine producer Jackson Family Wines (JFW). Nowadays, some postcodes in Essex have the highest concentration of individual vineyards anywhere in the UK. Vineyard prices are not far off those in Marlborough, New Zealand. Essex has gone from zero to wine hero in the blink of an eye, with classy still (rather than sparkling) wines the forté, particularly Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.So could Essex end up challenging the likes of Sancerre and Burgundy?!We get the lowdown from Charlie Holland, who's heading up JFW's ambitious English wine project, plus 'Mr Essex viticulture' Duncan McNeill and Chris Wilson of acclaimed Cambridge urban winery Gutter&Stars. We also give our verdict on a (surprisingly wide) range of Essex wines, including JFW's debut release (Marbury Chardonnay). And yes, the words, 'new dimension' are uttered.Thanks for tuning in.
