Start the Christmas Season Well!
Christmas time needs to be done well! To get you started we've got some special stuff planned in Island Bay: at St Hildas (311 The Parade). Sunday at 10.00 am is "STIR-UP SUNDAY" - a family focussed celebration involving something to do with Christmas Cake I think. Then the week after it is the annual Island Bay Community Carols on the Lawn at the back of St Hildas (3rd Dec). A special family affair - with games from 4.00pm, FREE Sausage Sizzle from 5.00, and Carols from 6.00 pm. Hosted by the Island Bay Churches. For more info see the poster attached.

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.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
