Alan Methven doesn’t give a “rat’s toenail” that he’s got Williams Syndrome. The Cambridge resident says he’s as normal and different as anyone else.

Methven, 57, is one of 120 people who gathered in Hamilton at the weekend for a camp organised by the New Zealand Williams Syndrome Association.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
