Thank you for using Neighbourly
The imagination of Dr Maggie Lockdown owners is amazing and great to raise bored spirits....AND it doesnt cost a cent.
I nearly hopped into the tent and waved at the sightseers.
THANKS neighbours.
Study in blue with sacred kingfisher/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus). Hikoikoi boat sheds. Taken just before lockdown - I'm missing getting around my normal haunts with my camera.
Sunshine and wind Dr Maggie Lockdown downed yesterdays motorbike cowboy gear and became a feminine lovely MERMAID.
Smiles and big thanks to neighbours for entertaining our suburb.

We're looking for lockdown gardening ideas! With New Zealanders stuck at home everyone is keen to get into their gardens, but they can't get to the shops to buy plants and seeds. So we want to hear from you some suggestions for crops you can start or sow from what you have on hand or useful gardening hacks using just what you have at home already without going to the shops.
It doesn't have to be a big idea - just something like growing spring onions from the base or sprouting avocado seeds to make a houseplant. Send your tips and ideas to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz and we'll publish the best ideas in NZ Gardener.
Make sure you include your full name and address - only your name and the region you live in will be published but if we use your tip we will send you a free copy of the magazine.
Dear neighbours,
Here's our list of the best new-release varieties of edible plants to grow this season.

"Bush robins/toutouwai (Petroica longipes) have an open heart, they roam tramping tracks without fear because it doesn’t occur to them to be afraid. They have no armour on their personalities. If they were humans they would help you change your tyre and laugh about the experience.
They will stand on your shoes if you sit too long. And rummage inquiringly while you unpack your pack. I read once that the open-hearted will inherit the Earth. I hope it’s true – that it is better to be possibly hurt than hardened. But the open-hearted are often preyed upon by the ambitious. It might be why the robin is at risk and declining – he’s just a little too trusting of those that would eat him. Bushy Park, July 2021."
While his caregiver gardens nearby, WOODY just keeps his Lockdown eye on Normandale neighbours.
So beautiful.
Lockdown Woody just sits and watches the people go by.
Up close and gorgeous.
His owner is out digging the garden. Sunday 29/8/21.
Permission given to take a photo of this Normandale family out walking in full costume Sunday 29/8/21.
SMILES all round.
NOTE Woody sitting on the fence watching.
Dr Maggie Lockdown is about to take off on her motorbike and blow away the cobwebs.
Her caregiver is washing his car close by.
Thanks for todays smile and will take you up on the ride soon.
