room in our home for rent
We are retired teachers, originally from America, living in one of the grand old Ponsonby villas. Our kids are grown and gone (well, most of the time) and so we rent out their bedrooms (which come with beds and sheets and towels and the occasional chocolate chip cookie from the old fashioned oven in the shared kitchen). Casual, warm atmosphere with an international flavor...good people coming through the place to visit from time to time...would suit a single student or overseas visitor. If you are a non-smoker, not allergic to a cat called Michi, and need a room in a safe and friendly environment close to the CBD, email us at <12trinitystreet@gmail.com>

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
