(2) anyone who lives rurally at some distance from a pharmacy. (3) anyone with a compromised immune system. (4) the eldery. This means that you if you fall into any of these catagories you can ask your pharmacy for the full three months of meds, so that you only have to make one trip to the pharmacy instead of three trips. Stay safe everyone.

Hi all, I have just moved to Nelson at the beginning of March and, despite current times, have enjoyed my daily exercise exploring my local area, the trees especially are exceptional- all different and turning for autumn.

I am working for New Zealand Red Cross and we have set up a virtual mission challenge where you walk 71km at your own pace and within government guidelines and you can follow your progress with views of Lake Taupo! Its a great way to keep your steps up and be part of a community.

You can check out more on this link, its a suggested $25 which goes towards helping the most vulnerable in communities and is a nice way to connect and stay active during this time: www.facebook.com... or www.myvirtualmission.com...

I cant wait until we are able to explore Nelson and the surrounding areas more after lockdown, its such a lovely part of the world

Dear Nelson, Marlborough and Tasman - ANZAC Day will look a little different for us this year - however there are many ways for you to acknowledge the incredible men and women who have served our communities and given their lives for our country.

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’.
