Poll: Did you know about George Clarke's NZ links?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The Amazing Spaces TV presenter and architect George Clarke is in New Zealand and he is making a request for Kiwis to get behind a rebuild of a Coromandel beach town’s 1970s Surf Life Saving Club.

The club’s building in Whiritoa has a special connection for the UK’s Clarke as it was built around the same month and the same year that he was born, he said in a video posted to Facebook.

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? 🍫
