Art Class
ou asked for it and we have created an evening community art class with the lovely Tarci. Starting with an introduction of 4 weeks and a full class beginning in May.
This art class will give you the opportunity to explore different materials and techniques such as graphite's, pencils, pastels, brushes, collage, crayons, mixed media... Find what fascinates you most and sparkle your creativity!
You will have guidance and support all the way, while searching for inspiration, developing your skills and finalizing your art pieces."
☆☆☆ The intro classes will be to touch and experiment the materials talk a bit about inspiration and artists plus simple but pleasant art exercises.
☆☆☆In May we will be a little more "intense" in the exploration of techniques and materials, also possible combinations between them.
New subjects/themes will be offered for each class and/or every other class.
No rush, no right or wrong. Freedom to the inner artist!
$100.00 for 4 weeks introduction - includes all materials.
Numbers will be limited so please register at admin@highburyhouse.org.nz
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

CAREGIVER SUPPORT HELP NEEDED😄
For my lovely 🍓 89yo mum. Ideally 1 - 2 days pw. I'm looking at 8am - 2pm. Making her breakfast (weetbix, eggs, toast), mid morning porridge & lunch. Basic cooking skills & light cleaning duties (cleaning bathroom, keeping lounge tidy)😄 & keeping her company when im out food shopping/attending appointments. No showering as we have a carer doing that. She loves company & her Chinese TV. Mum is a softly spoken person with good SOH. Suited to someone similar like her & reliable. I'm there in the mornings & can give you guidance & support. An awesome opportunity for someone who loves working with the elderly. If you know of anyone or perhaps yourself you'd love to help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Call/text me 027 3862680. Cheers Helen😄
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
