Download this pdf of a poppy, by award-winning illustrator Sharon Murdoch, to print off and stick in a front window - To show that even in lockdown, in our small bubbles, we shall not forget. That we can still say thank you for the sacrifices, we can still pay tribute to the bravery of so many.
Good afternoon my neighbours, just a quick thank you note to the people who have been donating DVD / Blu Rays to our library, we appreciate it. I'll get them sanitized and into the library.
Thanks again, enjoy your evening, hopefully with a good movie or classic TV show.
As a first-home buyer it pays to weigh up your options to see whether buying new or buying 'character' is best for you.
Dear neighbours and gardeners, here's what you can and can't do for your garden next week. Plus, always check with your local garden centres to see what they're doing too.

If you fancy a laugh I have added some "classic" British comedy DVD's to the box this morning. Also thanks to John & Carol's sister who contributed a bag of DVD's to the library, keep them coming as it's doing a roaring trade at the moment, especially the kids DVD library .
Have a great day and be kind to each other...

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.
Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.
Good morning my neighbours, since school has restarted this week we have added a series of kids science DVD, called Bang goes the theory, I am sure they will be very popular.... enjoy and be kind to each other.
Good morning my neighbour's, I hope you are doing well as we slip towards the weekend, today we've added a collection of music dvd's to the library, as Bob Marley said “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Enjoy and be kind to each other...

We'd need you to be happy to be identified and photographed (from a distance). If you think you can help, please email senior journalist Andrea Vance on andrea.vance@stuff.co.nz.

We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below. It could be a story of a member in your family who served - or perhaps the way you and your family celebrate ANZAC Day each year. (It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).
We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.
