Love Where You Live - February 1st to 29th šŸ„°

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Love is in the air this month! Weā€™re not just talking about Valentineā€™s Day... weā€™re talking about this monthā€™s national campaign.

Our theme for February is all about finding ways to show your home and community a little extra love and care. Whether itā€™s organising a street clean up, helping a neighbour tidy up their property, putting together a working bee, or installing a communal pātaka or library - there are countless ways to make our neighbourhoods more enjoyable for everyone.

Donā€™t forget to share the love! Let us know how youā€™re improving your neighbourhood this month by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? šŸ•°ļø

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? šŸ„¦šŸŒ±šŸ„•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether itā€™s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donā€™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? šŸ«
