Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Old Grubber handle

Ron from Fairhall - Renwick - Woodbourne

SharpAs Tool Tips

Another great tool from yesteryear. While the quality steel in a grubber will last indefinitely with proper care, the handles eventually wear out. With a new handle fitted and the steel refurbished, this grubber is now set to give many more years of service.

If you have old or new tools to restore — chisels, drills, utensils, knives, or other items needing sharpening or reconditioning — come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturdays
🔹 Marlborough Farmers’ Market – Sundays
Or contact me directly on 027 444 5535.

Cheers,
Ron
