volunteer drivers

Debbie from Totara Vale

Hi Neighbours,
My name is Debbie, I am the coordinator of our church food bank, I am looking for genuine caring people willing to volunteer and have a vehicle that could deliver food parcels every Tuesday morning. Pickup from my place in TotaraVale 9 - 9.30 am takes no more than 35 - 45 minutes per run. We deliver Belmont, Bayswater, Takapuna, through to Glenfield, Bayview, TotaraVale, Sunnynook, Through to Foresthill, Browns bay, Torbay, Albany. I am needing at least 2 x permanent driver and at least 2 x reserves to help if someone is sick or away. You can contact me on my mobile 0272926819. Thank you

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!

Home made bread problem

Karen from Totara Vale

Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?

I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.

I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.

It can only be the flour?

What do you think?

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?
