Playgroup at St Hilda's 311 The Parade Island Bay 9.00 am Tuesdays
Our drop-in playgroup is operating as usual on Tuesdays. We are open for caregivers and their pre-kindy, pre-playcentre or pre-school children. We have a wide range of developmental toys for children, while you can enjoy a cup of coffee/tea plus some nibbles and a chat with others. Everything is provided: all you have to do is drop in to our warm hall and enjoy playing with your child or watching them develop and begin to interact with other children in a no pressure environment. Most of our children are in the 0 to 2 years age range. All we ask is a Koha to cover refreshments, and the pleasure of your company!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
