Our Neighbourly Book Club

Annelies from St Albans

Kia ora neighbours

A good while ago when I was new to Christchurch I put a post up here to see if there was any interest in forming a neighbourly book group for the Merivale/St Albans area. Since that time, a small group of us have met once a month to discuss books, life in general and to enjoy one another's company over snacks and refreshments.

We now feel we'd like a few more local members - hence this post! If you'd be interested in joining our group, drop me a line. We are centered around the Merivale/St Albans area, we read across a range of genres and meet on the first Thursday of each month in the early evening.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

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.
