First off ANZ cancelled flights to San Francisco before the Lockdown. Last week they cancelled my 5 booked flights and gave us a credit so I phoned the airline at 11pm Sunday night and ask for a refund using the following:- went to the US Department of Transportation website and under Refund - Cancellation found the following "If your flight is cancelled and you choose to cancel your trip as a result, you are entitled to a refund for the unused transportation – even for non-refundable tickets." Used this statement in phone call as we were covered as anyone travelling to or through USA is covered. The person I was talking to went away and asked and came back with must be USA citizen(don't think this is necessary but my husband is) so said that and they said yes they would give us a refund so asked for that in writing which he typed up and sent to me while I waited. This morning the refund was credited back to my credit card. May be something similar under EU Rules for other countries. Another option is that 2 days after Air New Zealand cancelled all flights the Changed their Conditions of Carriage to include Pandemics/Epidemics to exclude refunds. Can provide further info on this and how to find out if people want that info.

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. NZ Gardener has been informing and inspiring New Zealand gardeners for more than 75 years and we're incredibly grateful to our readers, especially our subscribers, because we couldn't do it without you. And by the way subscribing is easy and a much cheaper way to get your magazine each month! And would an NZ Gardener sub make a great Mother's Day gift this Sunday, you ask? I think we all know the answer to that! Jo

Mōrena kiritata,

An American woman who settled in Foxton Beach traveled back to the US to support her family amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Within weeks of her return, two cousins died from coronavirus, and last week she lost an aunt. Two other family members have tested positive for the virus and been quarantined.

Many Kiwis and New Zealand settlers have family living overseas.

Where's your family? Who are you most concerned about?
