Celebrating our backyard bliss
Hey neighbour,
Our homes are our havens, particularly during lockdown, when backyards become a vital venue for DIY enterprise, children's adventures and beloved hobbies.
The Standard is keen to celebrate and share the projects, games and passions brewing in our region's backyards, that are helping to keep families entertained and spirits up during the alert level 4 restrictions.
If you've got a backyard bliss worth sharing, email reporter George Heagney at george.heagney@stuff.co.nz
He and a visual journalist will be visiting homes while adhering to lockdown social distancing rules and using drone photography.
Supplied images, supported by a brief description and caption information, are also welcome.
