Awesome Amazing Neighbour

Lucille Nikita from Wattle Downs

As one of the first to leave our street for work, my husband to bes' favourite neighbour, well respected by other neighbours, tries to help his wife out as much as he can (wife works hard and long hours too) washing and cooking, looking after his many kids teenagers and new grandson (soon to be 1yr old), so friendly always with a smile on his face, love his fishing and Always shares his catch with his neighbours!!! but this one time all i seen was this guy flying over my fence (me thinking WTF) and my kids had got themselves in a pickle with my back gate, steps and water ( i hate the area it gets so slimy and very dangerous esp when wet) me trying to rest didnt think anything of it at the time - my boys are always up to no good ( laughing and crying - if you know what i mean???) but this particular time this neighbour must have seen and heard something and flew over our gate to save my youngest boy who was just playing and following his two older brothers, I still dont know what really happened but my boy was histerical, shivering crying and soaked and this neighbour was just saying "its ok, its ok" - i ran out with a towel and scooped him up, said thank you and ran inside to put my boy in the shower. I have high blood pressure and this was a heart attack moment. Me thinking he has just saved my sons life!!!!.I remember thinking Angels are watching over us and this Awesome Neighbour and his family are living guardians! I really do not know how to say Thank You meaningfully and this would be so AMAZING!! He so deserves this Title. :D

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.

Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
