Thank you for using Neighbourly
Would the low life who took our leg of ham from the garage freezer in Houldsworth St last Wednesday when we inadvertantly failed to lower our garage door, like to call back for the mustard I have left out. Next year give me a call and I'll gladly buy you one.

Over the years, siblings Ross and Wendy Palmer have celebrated the unexpected in a garden that's full of unexpected twists and quirky turns.
Ross says they've "made random a virtue", and whatever form of plant life or gardening you're into, chances are this inventive duo has incorporated it in some way.
"This is our play area and neither of us are afraid to do silly things and playful things," says Wendy.
A portion of fish and chips in Kaikōura has just upped the ante on Kiwi cuisine.
That's right, just when you thought 'fush 'n chups' couldn't get more Kiwi - behold; North and South Island-shaped battered fish.
Hey neighbours, I hope you’re now on the wind-down side of Christmas! If you’re heading off on holiday shortly, please give a little thought to how you’d manage if an emergency strikes while you’re away from home.

Check whether your holiday spot is in a tsunami zone and plan what you’d do if you need to evacuate. A local source tsunami could arrive in minutes, so there won’t be time for an official warning. It is important to recognise the natural warning signs and act quickly.
Remember, LONG or STRONG: GET GONE.
Here are some useful links to help you prepare for an emergency:

Is there anyone out there who is able to look after a young billy goat for about 5 weeks? He needs to be in a secure area with room to run and play.
If you can help please call Jutta on 021538200 for more details.

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.
This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.
While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region
So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.
