Dear Neighbourly...love from the Kapi-Mana News.
This week we met Joan and Lynda, penpals who recently met for the first time in their 53 year correspondence.
The friends got me thinking...I had a penpal from Africa when I was a child and it made me wonder if it's still a "thing" these days?
Did you have a penpal? Do you still have a penpal?
And does anyone else prefer to write letters than emails? Or are the days of letter writing long gone?

Poll: Is it ok to regift something that you have been given?
🎁 Holiday Gift Chat!
Do you ever regift?
What’s your take on asking for a receipt if a gift doesn’t fit?
-
79.2% Yes! It's better to regift what I don't need
-
20.8% No. It's the thought and effort that matters
Stamps wanted
I run a Stamp club at Tawa School to encourage children to collect stamps and learn about countries, history and more. Unfortunately new stamps aren't often seen these days as it's all electronic! If you have any stamps or old collections sitting around, let me know and I'll come and get them.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
