Hi Neighbourly folk, what is the most unusual thing you have ever eaten? This week I tried Very Vanilla deer milk ice cream and I liked it.
It is made by Pāmu (the brand name for Landcorp Farming) and Wellington boutique freezery Wooden Spoon.

Great question. Your executor oversees your will when you pass away, so it’s an important job. If things have changed for you or your executor since the days of cassette tapes and telethons, it might be time to appoint a new one.

You can choose a new executor when you update your will – you can even appoint Public Trust, which gives you the reassurance of an executor who is impartial, always available and has the right expertise.
The Predator Free Prareraho initiative has a trap line of 30 traps around the domain and along the riverbank. These traps are to catch predators such as rats and stoats before they can make their way from the riverbed up to the Pareraho Forest behind Kelson.

These traps are to catch predators such as rats and stoats before they can make their way from the riverbed up to the Pareraho Forest behind Kelson.
These traps need to be checked about every week, so I am looking for a few people to check the line on a regular basis. If we can get a group of four or five people, then each of us would only need to check the line once a month.
There are 30 traps in the line, which take me about one and a half hours to check walking to the start and back from the finish.
Please PM me or text/ring me on 021-469655 if you are interested in joining this team.

The Belmont Residents Association will be having our regular monthly meeting on Wednesday 24th at 7:30pm in All Saints Church on Norfolk Street (because the Hardwick Smith Lounge is still not available for public use).
This meeting will be our AGM because we did not have a meeting last month. We would love to see you at All Saints Church on the 24th, so please add this date to your diary.
I would also appreciate an RSVP (via PM) so we can ensure there is sufficient space for appropriate social distancing.

We are still getting used to being with people, so don't like to be picked up. Our confidence is slowly improving. We are very cute and great to watch. We will need a large grass area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. We need to come inside at night to spend time with our family, and to help us keep safe from the weather and other animals."
If we sound like the kind of new family member you have been looking for, please get in touch. Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say which suburb you live in.
Today’s the day! McKenzie Baths and Wainuiomata Summer Pool are open for the summer season 🏊
It should come as no surprise we have additional health and safety measures in place in the face of COVID-19 and to reflect Alert Level 2 requirements.

It should come as no surprise we have additional health and safety measures in place in the face of COVID-19 and to reflect Alert Level 2 requirements.
Here are some golden rules for you to follow if you plan to make a trip to take a dip:
✅ Scan in using the NZ COVID tracer app
✅ Keep a two metre distance from others (who are not in your bubble)
❌ Please stay home if you’re feeling unwell – and if you have cold or flu symptoms please get tested!
Our team will be closely monitoring visitor numbers to enforce limits (these vary depending on the size of the facility, but essentially mean we are operating at half-capacity).
Thank you in advance for following the above guidance – it helps us keep everyone safe, and our facilities open for our community to enjoy.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.”
Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.
Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.

"Over the last few weeks, Charlie and I have been keeping an eye on the progress of a bird's nest just by our house. Today, the nest was empty only 20 days later – the birds had all fledged and were hanging about like teenagers in the trees around our garden. Well done mummy thrush; you've been an inspiration."
Kelson resident Andrew Gorrie took this stunning picture of a rescued tauhou/silvereye. He is feeding it with a spoon and is seeking the advice of the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust on how to look after it.
