Poll: Is there a place for Halloween in NZ?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's that spooky time of year and while there are some streets that welcome Halloween and set themselves up for trick or treating, there are other houses where you're more likely to get an earful than Halloween lollies. Do you think there's a place for Halloween in NZ?

1x English bone china thimble commemorating the Golden Jubilee in 2002 of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of England featuring Queen Elizabeth with a lovely smile and her tiara and a dedication on the back.

The thimble was made in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire England and measures 1 inch high by .75 inch in diameter and is in excellent condition.

1x unknown thimble (I can’t decipher the text) but seems very well made.

$10 for the queen one, $5 for the other, or $12 for both together

Pickup in Green Bay (we live opposite Green Bay High School) is MUCH preferred though it is possible to send if buyer pays p&p, or if you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup.

Price: $5

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.
