As a first-home buyer it pays to weigh up your options to see whether buying new or buying 'character' is best for you.

Dear neighbours and gardeners, here's what you can and can't do for your garden next week. Plus, always check with your local garden centres to see what they're doing too.
Dear Bay of Plenty - 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’.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

With that in mind, we have planned our next wonderful winery tour to Hawke's' Bay.
Travel with us through the verdant countryside & treat your palate to that voluptuous Red you have never savoured before, a classy White, a wine style you didn't know existed.
Time to cater to your Epicurean self again & to live "La Vie en Rose". (Maybe that needs an accent.)
And for those who usually travel overseas it's time to spend domestically & to help the economy get back on track quickly.

With this in mind, my husband put out our bag this morning after breakfast. To no avail! A middle-aged gentleman ( though that may be a misnomer) with an unleashed dog exited Waipuna Park & the dog immediately enthusiastically ripped our bag up. As usual, the contents were strewn everywhere. We did appreciate that the owner re-bagged our rubbish.
When challenged about why his dog was not on a leash, the owner said it did not have to be restrained & that only dangerous dogs needed to be so.
Paul ( husband) asked if the owner had read the Tauranga City website about such things & he replied that he had.
We quite accept that the owner may have read the website, but would suggest that he accompanies some littlies while they are on home-schooling this week & practises some Reading Comprehension exercises, as reading involves not only deciphering script, but also understanding what is read.
The Tauranga City website clearly states areas that can be used for “exercise off leash”, but just as clearly says that dogs should be on leash “on any footpath…or road berm”. It also has much to say about dogs that are nuisances, whether they be big or small.
We would suggest that those running the city pound would sometimes wait at exits of parks & give warnings to those leaving without their dogs being leashed. Second warning would involve a fine & the third a stay in the pound (though that seems harsh for any canine victims of negligent owners).
