...to nominate a spot in your community needing a splash of colour!

This is the LAST WEEK to make your Resene Colour Your Community nomination so make sure you take a few minutes to share a few words about an organisation, business or community project that needs a bit of a refresh. It could be for a park bench that's seen better days, a building that's wilting, a children's playground that lost its shine or a wall that's a bit of a bore.

Apply now for up to $1000 worth of Resene paints, wood stains and products to spruce up an area in your 'hood.

There'll be five winners announced later this month - plus you'll be invited to vote for the People's Choice Award.

Right, here we go ... unleash the flying monkeys🐒😠

We have just returned from our friend's home. He is an elderly gentleman.
He is very proud of his garden and boy oh boy he has stunning roses and fruit trees. So much work and time goes into this glorious garden.

His generosity is well known to those who know him and also strangers he meets along the way.
People knock on his door all the time and ask for some fruit or of they could have a rose off his bushes. He will always give them generally what they have asked for and maybe an extra item or two.
To say that he will share the shirt off his back is an understatement, he will share what he has in the garden to anyone who asks.

Well imagine, if you can, his shock and anger to wake up to a noise he heard outside (late afternoon) and to find 2 women - 1 daughter and her elderly mother with a large bucket in hand, stripping his fruit trees.
Their large bucket was 3/4 full.
When confronted, the women pleaded ignorance, couldn't speak English (so they said) and then proceeded to tell him, "Well, everyone does it and why can't they?"
Our friend almost busted a gut at this response regarding them stealing fruit off his trees, on his section.
He told them to take a long walk off a short pier (not these words by a long shot).
They shrugged their shoulders and carried on picking and this is where he lost his cool.

He shouted at them to leave or the Police will be called.
They walked off his section and down the road, so they live locally.
It makes you wonder if this is the first time they have done this?
I think not.

My gripe is PLEASE DO NOT HELP YOURSELF TO ANYONE ELE'S FRUIT IF IT'S ON THEIR SECTION - IT'S THEFT!!
If it's hanging over the fence, well that's borderline, but the tree is still the property of the owner.

So PLEASE, take a moment, knock on the door and just ask.
Chances are you will get more than what you asked for, maybe a new friend in the end.

Stealing off someone who is struggling, is DISGUSTING!
I can only hope that the karma bus is on it's way to these 2 despicable women.
You both should be ashamed of yourselves for stealing off an old man - ASHAMED!!!
