Dear neighbours,
Here's our list of the best new-release varieties of edible plants to grow this season.

It was signed by 432 residents.
Council officers noted that the pool, which closes at the end of February, gets peak use in January and that it would cost up to $41,000 a year to keep it open for a longer period.
Council officers did not support the petition. Do you think the pool should stay open longer?

"Bush robins/toutouwai (Petroica longipes) have an open heart, they roam tramping tracks without fear because it doesn’t occur to them to be afraid. They have no armour on their personalities. If they were humans they would help you change your tyre and laugh about the experience.
They will stand on your shoes if you sit too long. And rummage inquiringly while you unpack your pack. I read once that the open-hearted will inherit the Earth. I hope it’s true – that it is better to be possibly hurt than hardened. But the open-hearted are often preyed upon by the ambitious. It might be why the robin is at risk and declining – he’s just a little too trusting of those that would eat him. Bushy Park, July 2021."

Kia ora koutou,
Just a wee reminder that glass will NOT be collected while we are in Level 4.
The Delta variant is highly transmissible, and glass recycling is predominantly bottles which may carry saliva residue.
Please do not put your glass crate out for now 💚

How about changing up our track pants and leggings and making today a day where we go out for our walk all dressed up in some of our loveliest clothes. Might be a nice change, it will be fun and something different. What do you think?
This year is more important than any to support Daffodil Day. Due to the current lockdowns their street appeals are cancelled.
Get behind this great cause!

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.
Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.

Hullo Neighbourly folk.
It is the second week of lockdown and no doubt some of you will have needed to pop out for milk or bread, or some other essential. Many of you will have shopped in that much loved institution, the dairy. We would love to hear you story about your local dairy and the people … View moreHullo Neighbourly folk.
