Winter Gardening

Grace Joel Retirement Village

Winter isn’t usually associated with pottering about in the garden. However, it’s possible to grow, harvest, and share a bustling winter crop.

As we have celebrated Matariki and the beginning of the Māori New Year, for winter gardeners it’s the right time to cultivate crops that thrive in cooler temperatures and to prepare the soil for future planting.

**Wanted: Disney Cards Collector Album**

Inbal from Saint Johns

Hello Neighbours,
I have been searching for the Disney cards Collector Album for a week now. I have tried everything by now with no success.
If you have an idea where I can find one for purchase or if you have a spare one that I can buy from you, that will be amazing! (Happy to pay more than the actual cost of the album)

Any help will be deeply appreciated :o)

Many Thanks in Advance!

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
