TE NUPEPA O TE TAIRAWHITI WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2020 HOME-DELIVERED $1.90, RETAIL $2.20 WE asked on The Herald Facebook page how the first weekend in lockdown went . and Gisborne responded. The Alert Level 4 regulations have restricted our movements but not our can-do attitude, creativity or enthusiasm when it comes to getting out (or in) there and doing it. The Herald Facebook page has been deluged with pics of Gisborne people in lockdown action — from baking to gardening; from jigsaw puzzles to board games; from DIY to gutterboard contests. We will be featuring regular pictures of locals in lockdown, starting today. So head to page 2 to see what we’re all up to. And remember — stay home, be kind.

This is what a neighbourly chat looks like nowadays during an Alert Level 4 lockdown on a quiet cul-de-sac in Gisborne. Pictured are six households, in their different bubbles, who all meet at the end of their driveways with a deckchair and a cuppa for morning and afternoon tea times. Usually there are more, says Asquith Street resident Sharon Craig. It’s a good way to keep in touch, get some sun and, in Sharon’s case, see the grandkids who live across the road with daughter Esther Theobald and husband Judah. Other neighbours are working from home, including Daryl Gowers, teachers JP and Susan Vorster and Pastor Bruce Whitley, who still holds church gatherings via Zoom video and online conferencing.
