Jane from Naenae

Good morning neighbour.Been pretty quiet on the Home front after the storms of Gambriel Now settling in to look after our own.Just wondering if any one has spare hangers an clean jars they no longer use.Would so appreciate them.Also I will be closing the Pataka after today an re-opening next Tues 8:30am.Thanku all so much for your Donations leading up to now.Special thanku to the family who dropped off bags n bags of beautiful Linen, blessed to families moving into their New Homes.If you have kitchen pots,pans cutlery. plus linen,duvets etc,I would gladly pass them on.Many people who coulnt afford storage had to sell their belongings an some have been in Emergency housing for 2yrs plus,so have nothing when they come out.Hats off to all our neighbours who pitch in an help out in many ways.In finishing,most week ends is my time to take a short break,an with Winter creeping in ,donations left over the week end get damaged so asking if Donations be left Only during the week when Im home to take them in,Please leave at the donation drop off frezza by my door Not the Pataka.Without further ado,HAPPY EASTER NEIGHBOURS.May your chickens hatch as many Eggs as mine has,mmm maybe the Rabbits hopped by🐰🐇🐰🐔🐔

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
