Thank You
We would like to thank the very generous family who quite by chance came to be seated with us at Ichiban Teppanyaki, Lower Hutt last night. We were there to celebrate a birthday and although we did not know you we soon started chatting and sharing a few laughs. At the end of the evening when it became time to pay our bill, we found much to our absolute amazement, that it had already been paid. Having left before us and not realising what you had done, we were left quite speechless. We have done such lovely acts of kindness ourselves in the past, but to be the recipient on this occasion has completely blown us away. We hope that at some stage in the future that our paths may cross so that we can return the favour in kind, but if not we wish you well and hope your act of generosity is returned to you ten fold. This is certainly something that we will definitely never forget.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
