Franklin Hospice Garden Ramble
Here's a shout out for the Barfoot & Thompson Franklin Hospice Garden Ramble. It's on the weekend 12-13 November and this year has 11 Magnificent Gardens and a Christmas market. Details at www.franklinhospice.org.nz.... Tickets at the Hospice shop, Simply Giving; online; or some garden centres. See the website.
This only occurs every two years and all proceeds go to Hospice.
(Oh, and if you'd like to help out as a volunteer - either at the Ramble, generally for Hospice or both -please contact Franklin Hospice and leave contact details. Someone will be in touch)

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
