This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.

So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.

We can blame show-man, no-man Donald Trump and inadequate recycling stations (or lack of) for our misery, but we can't blame either as yet for the weather..

There is no argument that since mid-winter and up to now in Wellington-Hutt Valley we have had a continuous spring or to put it another way, we are having a lovely winter for the last nine months.
This year I did get a touch of summer in Ohope which suited its name - we live in hope.
Methinks that we might get a nice March-April but who needs 'summer' then as the temperatures are unlikely to reach much past 18c..
The Guns and Roses concert and the Sevens event on the Sunday both at Westpac Stadium summed up our summer: piss poor!

All are welcome to pop along to a rehearsal to see how we work with the kids and what we sing!!
We rehearse locally too.
Current members are aged 4 to teens and are already sounding great!
