Last Call - Christmas Day Lunch Invite for our beloved Elders β€οΈπ
Closing invites on Sunday 15th December.
Howdy Neighbours :-)
My tween daughter and I (Single mum) would like to invite an elderly person or 5 into our home to share a meal together. (LOL So far we have 10 of us attending).
We are well aware that there are many out there who spend this Special day alone. This year, you don't need to.
Last year, on Christmas Day, we invited our Neighbours over, and ended up with 15 of us here. It was a wonderful time.
This year, our family are having an early, and a late, get together.
In the past, we have volunteered at the City Mission Dinners.
This year, it's all about YOU!! Our elders β€οΈ
If you are an elder, or you know of an elderly person or couple, who will be spending their Christmas Day alone this year, please get in contact with us for a chat. We would love to hear from you.
Come to our home. Share in some joy and have a few laughs over a meal and bubbles (Sparkling Grape Juice/Lemonade).
It is good for my daughter to see these things happen, and for her to take part.
So, who out there knows who our next guest may be?
Have a great day Neighbours. Safe travels.
To those of us who have loved ones who have passed on and won't be with us this year ...... *So close, not matter how far ......"
Peace, Love and Light xx β€οΈπ
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldnβt be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
