I put this up a couple of weeks ago, I hope no one minds if I post it again

Colleen Ellis from Onehunga

As we've been walking/driving around our neighbourhood there are a number of citrus ( oranges, lemons & grapefruit) laden trees shedding all over the ground. This of course occurs every year but we're mainly home at the moment. How about if you have a tree , especially the oranges, you could pick and either bag them "free fruit help yourself" outside your front fence or maybe contact a local food bank to drop them off at their base. Perhaps if your neighbour has a tree you could ask if you could carefully pick and bag them etc for those who would welcome them. As we know some people are doing it hard and it just seems a terrible shame to watch the fruit rot on the ground.
Stay safe

Hi Neighbours,
Here's the latest from Don who's been in isolation for 14 days,
We welcome you back Don....
Hi Everyone,
Please share this message and my newsletter with your members and contacts

I hope you are all managing to keep safe and healthy during these stressing and difficult times.
During the last few weeks I have managed to get myself Isolated for fourteen days due to being a close contact from the Dress Smart place of interest on the 16th of last month, that was fun. NOT! However I have been back on the beat working with my Onehunga Policing team attending Covid19 related incidents reported to police.

Unfortunately, those involved in criminal activity are continuing as predicted, so please continue to be vigilant and look out for anything of concern. The 111 emergency phone number is the best number to call to notify police of all emergencies including all Covid related concerns.

Also, an update on mail theft.
Police have recently identified individuals involved in high volume mail theft from the Ellerslie and Onehunga areas. Further information will follow once the investigation has concluded.

Keep safe and be vigilant

Kind regards
Don

Purple bearded iris rhizomes

Easy care but need lifting and splitting periodically. Flower late Oct. though may have to wait for next year. They look pretty much the same as the picture though there may be a few white ones among them. I can leave some at the front gate for anyone in Mt Eden, those out of area can pick them up after lockdown. i have a lot.
