Mr Sweep Change of Ownership
Hi neighbours, just to let you know that Mr Sweep is now under new ownership from today (20 January). We would like to thank all our loyal customers from the past 17 years and the great team we have worked with past and present on the Kapiti Coast and Horowhenua. Gemmal will continue his fabulous work with the new owner, Ian. What are we up to? Well, we have decided to follow the advice in the photo. You will now see Roger buzzing around in the Cookie Time van which he is very excited about. He hopefully will get to see some of you when he visits retail stores from Porirua through to Otaki. Bronwyn has been studying for the past two years and has set up a new mind-body education business called Creative4life. You can check out her new course 'Wellness through Creativity" at www.creative4life.co.nz... and follow her on Facebook: www.facebook.com.... Look out for her free 'Worry Less Live More - Setting Your Wellness Compass for 2022' online 5 day challenge starting in February. Thank you so much again, Roger and Bronwyn
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are 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.
Share your question below now ⬇️
Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
