Adoption
Hi everyone, my partner and I are looking to connect with people who have an adoption story to share. My partner was adopted and has met his birth family and have known them for many years now. We would love to hear from other people who have any experience with adoption, good or bad. Maybe you were adopted, or you adopted someone or you had to put a child up for adoption, whatever your story, we would love to hear from you. No judgement, just support and friendship. To share our stories and experiences, offer advice if wanted and just be a support, should you be wanting to find your birth family or not or maybe you already have. Each story is unique, some good and some not so good. Sometimes it is just nice to be able to talk about things with someone who understands. We welcome you to share your story and would be happy to hear from you. You can respond here or if you prefer, please feel free to private message us. 😊
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.
