First of several stories from my trip to Gisborne last week - local businesses are really struggling with the decline in forestry.

[Hamish Barwick @HamishBarwick]

The economic downturn is a problem that Gisborne's Chamber of Commerce president Ashley Fisher is worried about.
"People are on the brink of closure, that's the reality that they're dealing with," he said.

@KaitlinRuddock This is brilliant! We still love an active PTC 😂

[Alexa Cook @AlexaCook_]

Get yourself a friend like @KaitlinRuddock, who sends you beautiful flowers even though her wonderful job at @FairGoNZ is in the same boat. So much aroha for this talented woman - we've come a long way since Broadcasting School, and this set back will not knock us down! ❤️

[Paddy Gower @patrickgowernz]

We tried our best. 💜
