2023 Wild Birds of New Zealand Calendar
I'm taking pre-orders for the "2023 Wild Birds of New Zealand" calendar now. Calendars available mid-October.
These are a large A3-size calendar, with cover printed on 300gsm gloss art board and the pages printed on 150gsm gloss art paper.
These are printed locally in Petone at Valley Print. The calendars are $28 each inclusive of GST, plus courier at cost. Courier (NZ Post) is usually $11.80 (a little less for Wellington, but whatever the cost it will be on your invoice), plus approximately $3 extra for RD, but you can get up to six calendars for the one shipping cost.
These are posted in archive envelops inside home compostable bio plastic courier bags from a New Zealand Company called R3 - this is included for free!
If you are in the Hutt, you are welcome to pick up from Woburn and save the courier cost. GST tax invoices available when calendars arrive back from the printers. Payment on invoice by deposit into my account when the calendars arrive back and are ready to ship, or cash on pick-up. Calendars should be ready to ship by mid October.
There is absolutely no problem if you pre-order and then change your mind before I ship them, as the extras I had printed sold out last year and several people missed out.
Thanks for supporting my venture. Message me or Email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz if you would like a PDF of the whole calendar to have a look at before you order.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
