Maria from Melrose

Hi Neighbours
At St Anne's hall in Newtown (end of Emmett Street) there is an art sale between 10am and 2pm Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd. The work is mainly by Ray Ritchie who has exhibited in the City Gallery and in Newtown. There are also works by his wife Margaret. To see some of Ray's work watch www.youtube.com...
Some of the work is for sale by silent auction, with the auctions ending at 2pm on Sunday. There are also many pieces that are for sale that you can make an offer for. There is a wide variety of work ranging from still life studies, to landscapes, to portraits of politicians, to quirky and humorous social commentary.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

What flowers are blooming in your garden?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours,

In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.

Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
