Wool for knitting - does anyone have some to spare please?
Following our hugely successful knitting sale recently we find there is a real demand for warm handknitted garments for babies and children.
To help us meet this demand we need more wool for our amazing knitters to create these garments.
If anyone is able to donate either some spare wool or a donation for us to purchase precious baby wool, Red Cross would gratefully receive your contribution. These can be left with at our shop at Red Cross, 35 Cadbury Rd, Onekawa , between 10 and 4 Mon to Fri.
If you would like us to collect from you, then please phone the shop during those hours 843 0013. We appreciate your support. Thank you!
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.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
