This Saturday is the BOOKSHOP HOP - be into win!

The Team from Destination Wairarapa

This Saturday (Oct 8th) is the Wairarapa Bookshop Hop; a collaborative event to celebrate New Zealand Bookshop Day. The best booksellers in Wairarapa have come together to give you the ultimate book-lovers day out.
One of the (many) great things about Wairarapa is we have 13 fantastic bookshops all within 30 minutes - or less - drive of one and other, so it's entirely possible for you to hop around all 13 bookshops in a single day! Pick up a brochure from any of the stores and collect stamps along the way with a purchase at each store. Each stamp puts you in the draw to win $650 in bookshop vouchers!
Many of the stores will also run their own promotions on the day and the map includes special food and beverage offers from Finom Kitchen in Carterton and The White Swan in Greytown.
All the details are here www.mrsblackwell.com...
Participating bookshops: Carterton - Almo's Books, Take Note; Featherston - Chicken and Frog, Featherston Ferret, For The Love of Books, Messines Bookshop, Mr Feather's Den, The Dickensian Bookshop; Greytown - Mrs Blackwell's Village Bookshop; Martinborough - The Martinborough Bookshop; Masterton - Bear Flag Books & Retro, Hedleys Books, PaperPlus.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

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.
