Got a Nice Neighbour?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.

Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.

Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Lunchtime Concert at St Andrew's on the Terrace, 12.15pm

Katrin from Newlands

Katrin Eickhorst, recorders, and Michael Stewart, organ and harpsichord, present solo and chamber music works from the Renaissance and the Baroque, including works by Fontana, van Eyck (Staeps), Frescobaldi and Telemann.
The highlight of the programme is Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach’s Sonata in g minor for flute or violine and obligato harpsichord. One of the gems of 18th century literature, it was attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach as his BWV 1020. But recent research suggests it to be a work of Johann Sebastian’s son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.
