Passing of Ian Hemingway
Dear neighbours,
It is with a heavy heart that I post this to let you know that one of our neighbours in Te Kowhai passed away recently.
His name is Ian Hemingway, of Horotiu Road, Te Kowhai, in the village.
Ian was a friendly, supportive, energetic (and founding!) member of Neighbourly. He's always been the first to welcome new joiners, to share recipes and tips.
Many of you will remember seeing Ian out on the Village Green over the years, flying his model airplanes.
Without Ian's support, Neighbourly in Te Kowhai wouldn't be such a rich and diverse network.
Without his contribution to our lives personally, I'd have never attempted to make mint jelly last Christmas. My kids would never have been encouraged to stop and smell the roses that grow at his front garden.
His presence online and in person in the community will be missed.
My condolences and thoughts go to his wife Barbara and their family.

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!
