Our new bee garden right on the front corner benefitted from a mulch delivery on Friday. Thanks Bert and team at Darebin Council. It is looking great!

And … in the rest of our garden we’ve got lovely flowers 🌸 of all colours … and blossom emerging on our fruit trees. Happy nearly spring days.

Bakeshop Alphington has moved in with the Pav Queen (relocating from the market site) and they’re leaving some food periodically in our seed library for anyone who needs it! Help yourself.

Lovely to have such neighbourly neighbours in our community hey?

It’s back. We’ve got a new batch in stock. Pop past ACC or visit Juliet at the Wingrove Street Milkbar for your fix of beans 🫘 or ground coffee. $25. All the profits go to supporting our friends in Baucau, Timor-Leste to undertake projects they prioritise - including supporting a women’s shelter, permaculture courses, teaching scholarships etc.

Hi Leanne here. Did you watch the FIFA World Cup this week? My girls are soccer ⚽️ 🥅 kids and we’ve been enthusiasts for this tournament.

So I went down to Alphington Bowls Club to watch the semi final match between England and Australia mid week. It was great! Thanks local bowling friends who organised it all.

I went there with my family and also my friend Tony Wilson who helped us make our podcast series Covid Roulette. He wrote about it on his blog ‘Good One Wilson’. He’s always amusing.

You can read what he wrote here if you are interested, and follow along in his World Cup journey in other posts - he’s been to Brisbane and Sydney for games.
