My Nice Neighbour nomination
Ben Robertson surely must win the award for 'My nice Neighbour'...
He tirelessly worked away at first making nose clips for masks (to help those who wear glasses to not to have their glasses fog up)! He then drove all around Palmerston North delivering them at no cost for either the clip or the petrol until he had ensured that hundreds of people had been helped.
But such was the response of those needing these clips, that he is now having to charge a minimal fee to cover costs for production.
As a wearer of glasses myself, I have been enormously helped by this device - and truly blown away at the pure kindness and selfless act of making and delivering them to such a large number of people.
I would have been happy to deliver them to help Ben. But he insisted he had the job in hand.
What an incredibly decent neighbor to have.
I'm not sure the word 'nice' quite says enough to cover Ben's generous selfless giving to the community! 😊

Stolen Pot plants
Last week on my return from a few days away a green 33cm shrub tub of petunias was missing from the front of my garage,
Today a 39cm terracotta tub of orange pansies and a 33cm shrub of pansies was mmissing from alongise my driveway in Fairs Road.
I have reported these losses to the police.
Should anyone notice that neighbours suddenly have pots or tubs of flowers, either call the police or ask them to return them. They know where they got them.
