Donation for a photoshoot
I have a fundraising special up for grabs!
Heart Kids NZ help supports kiwi kids born with heart defects, the highest occurring serious birth defect in New Zealand.
A very good friend of mine is a mother of a Heart Warrior, and I don't know how she has kept it together. When this fundraiser came up I felt it was the least I could do to show my support for them. So, I'm taking the plunge and we have a fundraising goal to meet.
To help raise funds for this amazing cause I'm offering 10 one-hour photoshoots for $50 each.
To secure your photoshoot visit this link, hscwellington19.everydayhero.com... donate your $50 and leave a comment that includes 'photoshoot fundraiser'. Make sure you send me a message to let me know you have done it so I can give you a voucher to confirm your photoshoot. You can use it for yourself or give it to someone as a gift. Message me if you have any questions about this fundraiser or the photoshoot. All high resolution images from the shoot are included. See www.facebook.com... for some of my work.
Vouchers will expire 31 December 2019.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Summer on the South Coast
Summer is here again! Fantastic weather beckoning all to get out and enjoy it.
So my request is, if you are cycling, running, walking on our beautiful south coast roads between Breaker Bay and Ohwiro Bay - please be courteous to all road users, even those of us stuck in cars.
The roads are scenic, but they are also narrow, with lots of blind corners. This makes it very difficult for faster moving traffic (cars) to pass slower moving traffic (cycles, walkers, runners). On a bad day this can result in frustrated cars making rash decisions to overtake - putting everyone in danger.
If you are enjoying the coast road on a cycle, and there are cars behind you, please do be considerate and pull over when you have a chance so that they can pass. "Hugging the left" does not really help on a narrow road with blindspots. Stopping is ideal.
If you are enjoying coast on foot, please be conscious of visibility and stay off the road where possible.
If you are enjoying the coast in a car, please be courteous to others - good will spreads, unfortunately so does selfishness.
Lastly - everyone watch out for penguins, they were here first but they don't read Neighbourly or road signs.
Happy and Safe summer everyone.
