Thank you for using Neighbourly
Hawke's Bay woman May Catherall, celebrated her 100th birthday last weekend, her sisters, Dawn, 90, and Jean, 91 were there to celebrate. Longevity runs in the family. And her secret - "hard work" - plus keeping physically and mentally active.
The usual fan-waving hot weather of Art Deco was replaced with showers and overcast skies for much of last week. Did you head along to any of this year's events and what did you think? Click the link to see a gallery of images and video.
I was just about to buy a new Panasonic front loader, but decided we better research cycle times. We measured out an average load weight and the cycle time came out at almost 3 hours! Gasp! Ridiculous. I know it's the nature of front loaders, but surely there are faster ones out there. So how … View moreI was just about to buy a new Panasonic front loader, but decided we better research cycle times. We measured out an average load weight and the cycle time came out at almost 3 hours! Gasp! Ridiculous. I know it's the nature of front loaders, but surely there are faster ones out there. So how long does it take to do a full load in your machine? What's the brand and how do you find it? I was thinking of an LG or Electrolux but the consumer site says, one is EXTREMELY noisy and the other hammers the water pipes. Has anyone experienced this? Thank you for your responses.

For the last two years Edu Tremain, 12, has won the annual race in Napier, but this weekend his younger brother Kalle, 7, will take the wheel of the soap box car.
Each year Tennyson Street is closed on the Sunday morning of the festival, as children race the motorless carts. Its easily the brother's favourite part, what's yours?

I was out Waimarama yesterday with a van load of our Pakowhai School senior class doing a beach safety day and due to the fire we ended up having a bit of a stressful afternoon making sure we could get our kids out safely. We attempted to leave once but were turned back by the smoke - imagine this - 34 degrees in a van full of tired and hungry kids with no air conditioning and having to have the windows shut due to the smoke - not pretty!
So we took the kids to the store to treat them to an ice block.The store was a tad chaotic due to the power being out and no eftpos but the store employees were doing an amazing job. In the confusion of all that was going on I accidentally left my brand new iPhone 7+ on the counter 😟I went outside, gave the kids their ice blocks and realised right away what I had done, so straight back into the store. Too late. Some dishonest local (confirmed) had claimed the phone as their own. We then get the call that we have to leave right now as the police were going to escort us out, so all I could do was leave my details. We kept trying to call my phone to see if someone would answer but it was switched off, but then someone answers! It's Lauren from the store, who has gone round to the person suspected of taking its house and retrieved it for me. I am now typing this message off said phone as Lauren even brought it back into town for me.
What an amazing person she is and definitely took the sting out of being taken advantage of with her kind deeds!!!!!! Yes the phone could of been replaced but not all the cool photos I took of the kids at the beach that day, so THANK YOU Lauren!!!!!!!!

This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.
To enter go to our website and ‘share your story’
So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.
