Needed... very wide-brimmed wool felt hat

Jenny from Glenfield

I just lost my Akubra hat... I think it was a musterers, or drovers, or something like that, of goid quality dense wool felf, designed for long hard wear in steady rain ... mine weighed up to 3kg after a downpour. The wide level brim allowed me to see both ways and straight ahead while clambering up and down banks in the bush, while warning me of branches and sharp poky things around me while I am focused on the plant in front of me. ( It was also a good sunhat, especially when I added a homemade neck flap and a chinstrap to maintain air flow above the head)
If you have something similar you could sell me, I would appreciate a call, message, text, message, or email (jenny@northshorewilds.co.nz)
Thank you if you help!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
