Turf has been dugup with a good level of soil on the grass and in strips. About half ready to collect today or Saturday. The rest on Easter Sunday or Monday, so you could take it and re-lay it at your place and water it for a virtually instant lawn. (Hoping that it will take root and grow.)

Pick up will be from Longhurst in Halswell.

If you are interested in this, let me know.

Press columnist Johnny Moore reckons Christchurch is at risk of becoming "a place where you can't please any of the people any of the time" after punters complained about last weekend's lantern festival.

What do you think?

It’s Easter and the roads are going to be busy. Because the holiday falls early this year, chances are the weather might be warmer. And that will encourage a lot of motorcycle riders to get out and about.

Brittany Morrow talks about the motorcycle crash that changed her life. Dressed only in basic streetwear, the 20-year-old fell off the back of a ‘bike travelling at 120mph and was partially skinned alive. Brittany speaks eloquently about what happened that day, the aftermath and how she now champions wearing the right protective gear on every ride. Watch it, and please pass on the message to anyone you know who rides. And encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching.
