Dave Murdoch of Tauranga was nominated by Ian Smith for being quite simply, the nicest neighbour!

"Dave next door is the best - we live in an apartment block in the CBD and every day he gets up and cleans the driveway- always puts out everyone’s rubbish bins and scrubs them out every time they are emptied. He cleaned around our pool area after a storm recently as we were busy at work. He is always first to help others whenever he can whether they have an issue with their unit or a stranger having car trouble out on the street - They don’t come better!"

The Legacy of Norman Rockwell
Published by Todtri Publications 1977
A loving chronicle of Rockwell’s life and work follows his career from his first assignment as art director at Boy’s Life, through his association with The Saturday Evening Post – for which he produced over 300 covers, and through his later, more socially-conscious work for Look magazine in the 1960s and 70s.
With 120 full-colour reproductions of his great works, this celebration of Rockwell’s talent and keen eye for detail celebrates his role as the chronicler of modern America

Michael Palin – Himalaya as seen on BBC
Himalaya is, for Palin, a true voyage of discovery. He had covered none of this ground before, let alone milked a yak, washed an elephant or swum at 14,000 feet.
This book, compiled from Palin’s diaries, records the pleasure and pain of his most challenging journey so far and Basil Pao, the inspired photographer of Sahara, Full Circle and Pole to Pole, captures the sensational beauty of the finest mountain scenery in the world.
This is adventure at the very highest level.

We've had two very special breed (expensive) cats go missing from our Dairy Flat property over the past 15 months, and after talking to other locals I can't help but wonder if there's a not-so-innocent connection. I'm wanting to hear from anyone out there with similar experiences and suspicions in the hope that if we share information we may be able to fill in a bigger picture of possible sinister activity. Thanks so much!
