Good morning all,

I am now fully into my gardening and lawn mowing business but still have some available spaces left for more gardens and lawns to be taken care of. :)

I offer regular or one-off gardening services like weeding, trimming, tidy up's, regular maintenance and lawn mowing services. I also offer my gardening services for properties that want/need to be sold, to make them look tidy and more appealing for the sale.
I am operating on my own, taking pride and care in it as it is my passion and joy!

If you haven't got the time to look after your garden or you are struggling with the physical work that gardening often comes with, give me a call or text on 021 025 1343.

I am Acacia Bay-based but do work all over Taupo, as well as Waitahanui and Kinloch.

When it was dark, my brothers would pick me up and we would walk the streets... I hated school and wanted to drop out early.

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.

We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

For many years, Lake Taupō has been inching closer to this small community.

What started as a gradual, insidious process – around half a metre of land falling into the lake yearly – has escalated. In the last two years, those nibbles have become bites, and Kuratau has lost large chunks of the foreshore.

Have you spotted this, or do you know of other areas where it's happening?
