For antique trader Mehdi Sanssar it all began with a pair of brown leather Nikes his mum bought him at a store north of Paris in the late 1980s.
Sanssar, 39, is a self-confessed "sneaker freak".
The Frenchman, who has lived with wife Korreen and three kids in rural Hawke's Bay since 2009, still has a wardrobe jammed full, with about 70 boxes of sneakers, but it's a far cry from the 130 he owned at "peak fetish" about five years ago.

Have you seen this house? Here's the story behind its rusted roof and peeling paint.

Reporter The Hastings Mail

Where others see a sun-faded crumbling wreck, Hinekirunga Hapi and Doreen Tipoki see the ebbing glow of a home filled with love, laughter and a door open to all.

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!
______
Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!
