St Hilda's Playgroup and the SPACE course -
The playgroup will be open on Friday this week for the last time. Next term the toys, snacks and place to meet other caregivers will be open as usual on Tuesdays but we will not be running the Friday sessions. Instead we are starting the SPACE course at St Hildas on Wednesdays (see notice below on Neighbourly).
The playgroup will not be open during the school holidays.
We are sorry for everyone who will be inconvenienced, but we do not want to clash with the music programme for little ones in the Bay.
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
