We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below. It could be a story of a member in your family who served - or perhaps the way you and your family celebrate ANZAC Day each year. (It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).
We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.
Tiny house builders have had a surge in interest during the lockdown, some from families that are 'herding'
During COVID-19 lockdowns overseas, we've seen someone run a half marathon on a tiny balcony and the distance of Everest up and down a staircase. What will we see next in New Zealand!?

We are an active country and we like to get outdoors in our beautiful landscapes. But we know that right now we must #stayhomesavelives. Here is a way that you can still keep active in your own home, and still enjoy the beautiful scenery that we have here in Aotearoa! ? #RedCrossVirtualTour
At 4pm today Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will tell us when we will move into alert level 3. Do you think it will be this week, after the initial four-week lockdown?

No sorry this can't happen this year but the South Taranaki RSA will be bringing you a Dawn Service into your home this year. At 6.30am on Anzac Day local Radio Hokonui will be hosting a Anzac Day Service on behalf of the STRSA. The Service will be repeated at 9am for those who can't make it at 6.30am. Radio / i Pad / Computer / sort out how you wish to listen and take a trip back to the past when Radio was king and so was George V.

And the risk to their health and wellbeing will increase.
Enliven’s Wellbeing Assistance team are making sure the older people in your community have everything they need to be well.
We are finding that they need the most practical items:
- Food
- Personal hygiene products, including continence products
- Heaters and warm clothing as winter sets in
- Personal safety alarms (in case of a fall, they can instantly request help)
- Regular phone calls for companionship and safety
You can ensure that food and essential supplies are delivered to older people in your community.

They block up the pipes, which then need fixing immediately. When workers have to leave home to fix blocked pipes, they’re at risk of COVID-19. That puts everyone else in their bubble at risk as well.
Do your bit for workers and their whānau, and put your wet wipes in the bin.

With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?
Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.
Happy raving NZ!

Hello everyone. We thought we were done with our monarchs for this year but I've just found 9 baby caterpillars on our last plant that I put outside with barely 3 tiny leaves left on it. As most of the shops are still closed, I have no idea where to get more swan plant for them to eat. Do any … View moreHello everyone. We thought we were done with our monarchs for this year but I've just found 9 baby caterpillars on our last plant that I put outside with barely 3 tiny leaves left on it. As most of the shops are still closed, I have no idea where to get more swan plant for them to eat. Do any of my neighbours have any that I could maybe take cuttings from? They will not survive on these tiny 3 leaves. :( TIA. Keep safe and stay well. :)

With the current restrictions we aren’t able to print or distribute at the moment, but we are working hard on a fantastic May issue for you and it will be on sale as soon as the restrictions ease! I am hearing from so many readers right now about how their gardens have never been more important to them than they are now, so I want to ensure you get your NZ Gardener, packed with beautiful pictures, expert advice, inspiration and information as quickly as possible, so you can enjoy your own garden even more. Meanwhile, when you do your next shop, we’d love it if you could pick up a copy of the April issue which is on sale now (you can add a copy to your online shop too). As you’ve probably heard on the news it is a tough time for magazines right now, and we are incredibly grateful for the support of our regular readers and (especially!) our subscribers. If you are in a position to subscribe, or share your own love of plants and gardening by buying a subscription as a gift for someone else, then we’d be incredibly grateful: mags4gifts.co.nz.... Stay safe and enjoy the extra time in your garden everyone! Jo

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.
If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.
ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.
