Hi Neighbours!
I have been living in Somerfield for 4 1/2 years now and just love the beautiful walks around here! I have met many neighbours who live closeby as well as parents of my son's football mates.

I have been living in Somerfield for 4 1/2 years now and just love the beautiful walks around here! I have met many neighbours who live closeby as well as parents of my son's football mates.
2 1/2 years ago I decided to step up and start my own business. A former teacher with two Master's degree, one in organisational psychology (University of Canterbury), the powerful transformational Strategic Intervention Coaching programme with Tony Robbins, and being a serious meditation practitioner, I wanted to bring all my knowledge and skills to serve others with high quality development programmes for both personal and professional growth.

Hope to connect with you somewhere in the neighbourhood!
Keep safe and warm!

Hi there Cantabrians,
We recently caught up with Christchurch residence Helen Coker, the 2015 GARDENA Gardener of the Year. She talks about her experience in the competition, and ticks off the many reasons to nominate the most awesome gardener you know.
Hello, everyone! I just moved to Christchurch a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to introduce myself! My name is Julia, and I am a plant-based chef and Hatha yoga instructor.

I just moved to Christchurch a couple of weeks ago, and I wanted to introduce myself! My name is Julia, and I am a plant-based chef and Hatha yoga instructor. If you are interested in having me prepare any vegan or vegetarian meals for you, either in your home or mine, please get in touch! I can also teach healthy cooking classes for adults or children, and I can cater special events and dinner parties, and even make cakes! I teach Hatha, children's, and prenatal yoga as well. If you've been wanting to improve your nutrition, incorporate more plants into your diet, or increase your overall health and well-being, I would love to help you achieve some of those goals!
I will be teaching ten-week term classes of Hatha yoga at the beginner (6 pm) and intermediate (7 pm) levels on Tuesdays, beginning the 25th of July, at the Bishopdale YMCA, so feel free to sign up for either of those. As I start adding in more public classes, I will enter them into the schedule tab of my website, so you can always check there to see what's being offered. You can also always schedule things with me privately and directly! My website with more info is www.juliagrueskin.com...
Thanks so much, and I look forward to meeting you soon! :)

These homes are already occupied. She got them for $250,000 each which is really cheap. This is back door dealing and was wondering why where not offered to those living in them first. Was told she had the choice of all at same price regardless how big and what state. She chose the best. Talk about corruption. Used the fact her sister is mayor of Chch to get in through back door

Thousands of native trees and plants will be planted on the site which will also act as a storage basin, reducing flooding in the surrounding area, while the 2.75 hectare forest will attract native birdlife. The logs lining the waterways are reclaimed from the Avon River corridor, removed as part of work to strengthen the stopbanks. The Linwood Lower Fields work should be finished in September.

Hi to all you wonderful Neighbourly folk
My son, Nate, and his wife, Alyssa, are working hard to raise $25000 to help start the first every cat cafe in South Island right here in Christchurch!
They only have 1 week to go to raise the last $8000 and so I'm spreading the word about their crowd-funding project where people can pledge from just $5.00. Every pledge has a corresponding reward. Pledges will only become donations when the $25000 goal is reached.
Every pledge will be greatly appreciated and help to make a wonderful new place for people to meet, have a cuppa and something delicious to eat and interact with Cat Rescue cats and kittens - you could also give a special, forever home to one of the cats or kittens that will be available for adoption.
Check out the Catnap Cafe crowdfunding project and facebook page in the links below.
Many thanks
Victoria
