Mosque Shame

Eva from Southgate

I am probably like many other people in New Zealand who are in tears watching the news and the horror that has unfolded in our midst, overwhelmed with a feeling of helplessness and a deep wish to go and hug these poor people whose lives have been forever changed. Their feeling of safety in our peaceful land shattered and along with them, our own fear that tomorrow it could be any one of us. Evil lives amongst us.

To all the Muslims in our country who believe in peace and have lived amongst us without incident I can only share your pain and sorrow.

My deepest condolences to all who have lost friends and family not by the hands of men because real men don’t shoot the defenceless, but by the hands of COWARDS with evil hearts and guns.

Our wonderful country will never be the same. May you find strength to cope and feel peace once again. You have the love and support of the decent people that most of us are.

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?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.

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!
