GONE!!!

Julia from Avondale

Leaving for work at 7:20 this morning 24.07.2024 probably half a sleep hadn't noticed that our 2017 Vulcan Trailer Rego 8Q721 had been stolen.
We work hard to make a living. I work with Stroke patients and the other guy's work in our mowing business. It has taken us years to build our business up and purchase equipment. But it just took a few seconds for someone take part of it away.
We were told that Lynfield was one of the best places to live by AA our insurer. Hmmm.
We reached out to our neighbours but never heard back apart from two. Not even to say no we didn't see anything and at least be friendly or slightly concerned. Because hey it might be you next and wouldn't you want some friendly neighbourly love if that should happen. It's bad enough that i already feel like a stranger in my own country. And scared to walk in my own street because people aren't friendly they just stare at you. I am actually a nice person. If you live in Halsey street say hello. Jules

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Murray Halberg Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
