We still have so many incredible stories left to tell, but we also want to hear more from you - what inspires you, what is important to you, and what would you like to see from us at Stuff Travel? Please take our survey, and share it with others, the more input we have the better we can do.

Must take them all.
This family arrived by accident and we don't have the room to house them all. Also, we have all the fresh eggs we need. You must take them all thanks. The two photos are from last year. These chicks are exactly the same. Free to a good home. Pick up Tuakau.

“I would like to nominate and THANK our great neighbour's living at Viv Davie Martin Drive for their creativity and huge effort during lock down. They lifted all our spirits with their daily Teddy bear reenactment on how to keep busy. Each day people came to see what Teddy bear was up to. With keen interest kids in our neighbourhood even gave Teddy a proper name...meet Vincent LOL! It's through times like this that such acts of goodness should be acknowledged and the memories they hold forever treasured. A selected few photos of Vincent's daily lockdown activities "thanks Vincent :)"

Fresh herbs add wonderful flavours to cooking but aren't always available all year round. A good way to store herbs while they are at their best, is to freeze them in olive oil or butter. This method works particularly well for harder herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme, fennel stalks, and oregano. Use clean dry herbs. Chop or tear to size used in cooking. Put in ice cube containers singly, or mixed, to about two thirds full. Cover with olive oil or melted butter and freeze. When frozen, empty into plastic bags, label and store in the deep freeze. Use for cooking onions, garlic etc, for the base of recipes, for browning meats, adding to stuffing, putting in soups, or whatever takes your fancy! Enjoy.

Later this month we’ll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Daffodil Day, the most important day in our fundraising calendar. A day that relies on the support of more than 11,000 volunteers.
Money raised goes towards support services, education and awareness programmes, and to fund vital research into the causes and treatments of all types of cancers.
Our 30th Daffodil Day is on Friday 28th August.
Please support the superhero volunteers in your neighborhood with a donation to the Cancer Society, donate online at daffodilday.org.nz or at your local ANZ branch.
This weekend you can pop on your bike to help Franklin locals financially hurt by Covid-19. The Rot…

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
