And now, veggie holidays are here
Before you think this has something to do with holidays that help you control your carbon footprint or are a pointer to hit the trail with an eco-friendly holiday, we’ll burst the bubble.

Woofs, meows and some blessings, please
Got a pet? Want a blessing? Head to the Blessing of Pets annual ceremony held by parish priest, Fr Joe D’Souza this Sunday. The priest, who has been blessing pets for the past 20 years, will give his blessing at 11 am at St John The Evangelist Church at Ballard Estate.
