Now that we are in lockdown spare a thought for all the essential workers like Mark Shakespeare, from Wellington Free Ambulance.

He still has to go to work and face difficult situations helping the sick and the injured. At the same time, he has to keep himself safe.
“We’re giving more room between ourselves and patients. We’ll turn up with PPE such as masks and gloves.We’ll also ask several questions and depending on the answers, we’ll wear extra PPE to keep them and us safe.”
While the number of emergencies requiring attention remains about the same, the nature of the call-outs changes during lockdown, he said. Paramedics are responding to a lot more calls from people experiencing anxiety and mental distress.
Have you got anyone in your family who is an essential worker?
Woody just kept his eye on me as I caught him up in my tree.
So pretty.
Hi Neighbours, we are only in day two of lockdown and already the teddy bears are out. During the last lockdown Ted from Havelock North was a star and he is out and about again, making sure we all have something to smile about.
Have you put your teddy in the window yet? If you have, we would love … View moreHi Neighbours, we are only in day two of lockdown and already the teddy bears are out.

We're all working from home during this lockdown, not just to bring you your favourite gardening mag, but also our Garden Diary 2022! This is where we need your help: Show us how you've been using your 2021 Diary -- take photos of the pages, tell us what was most useful, did you have enough space to write your notes, what have you scribbled on the pages? Did you clip your plant labels on them? Perhaps shoot a little video with your phone as you turn the pages. Your feedback will help us put together next year's diary.
Please email your comments and photos to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, by this Friday, Aug 27. The five most helpful readers will each receive a free copy of the 2022 diary.
Lower Hutt residents, you do not need to go far to capture stunning pictures during lockdown. Andrew Gorrie took the picture of the moon and the tui from Kelson. Rosa Marie snapped the moon shot from Stokes Valley. Please share your best picture.
