From catching sprats on the farm as a young boy to representing New Zealand on the world stage, it’s always been his passion. These days, as a Bruce McLaren Village resident, Neil finds nothing more enjoyable than casting a line, surrounded by scenic vistas and the melodies of native birds, before releasing his catch back into the water.

An experienced fishing guide, Neil shares his love of fly fishing with his new mate and village neighbour, David. While they met in the village, the pair are often mistaken for lifelong friends. Like Neil, David has always been an active person.

Carpet needed for rooms

Victoria from Normandale

I'm helping a young person refurbish their first home and while the carpet through the lounge and hall still has a few years left in it, the bedrooms were too bad and needed lifting. The main carpet is light brown/creamish toning, textured, so an approximate colour match would be amazing. … View moreI'm helping a young person refurbish their first home and while the carpet through the lounge and hall still has a few years left in it, the bedrooms were too bad and needed lifting. The main carpet is light brown/creamish toning, textured, so an approximate colour match would be amazing. Measurements coming, but just wondering if anyone has any good reasonable room-sized carpet they are replacing and would like bought or taken away????

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
