House to buy in Somerfield School Zones

Karla from Somerfield

We are a family of 4 (plus 2 golden retrievers) recently moved back to CHCH from Brisbane and we are urgently looking for a house to purchase in the Somerfield area before the school year commences. My husband and I have a 12 yr old daughter and a 10 yr old son.

We previously lived in Avonside during the 2010-2011 timeframe and moved back to Brisbane when we were red zoned. We call CHCH home and fought hard to return here and now we're lucky enough to move back with my husbands job.

We are looking for a min of 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas would be ideal, min of 600m2 block and we are happy to look at any updating that needs doing. So if you or anyone you know are about to place your house on the market or thinking about it in the coming months, we would love to hear from you.

Cheers
Karla & Justin

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
