Come and Join a Choir this Year!
Our friendly community choir, Cantemus, is back up and running again from Monday March 8, now that we are back in Level 2. We've only had one practice so far, so if you've been thinking about joining a choir, we'd love to see you! We're an un-auditioned choir with a mixture of trained and untrained voices, and we sing choral and religious works from Bach and Mendelssohn to Rutter and the Beatles. Our members all love singing and making beautiful harmonies - come and add your voice to ours! We practise on Monday nights from 7.30 to 9.30 at St Luke's Church on Remuera Road in Newmarket. Look forward to seeing you there.
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?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
