Houghton Valley School Fair - Tomorrow 10am -2pm!
The annual Houghton Valley Community Fair is on tomorrow, Saturday November 23rd. Come along for a great day out on the South Coast. We are renowned for our great food and awesome games and activities on the school field. Pony rides, petting zoo, bouncy games, prizes to be won. Fantastic entertainment from our talented whanau and friends. Also a great opportunity to do some Christmas shopping at our Silent Auction, craft, clothes, toys, books and plants stalls. We hope to see you there!
Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
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?
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!
