Buckets&Bouquets

BOUQUETS to Powercor for always being available to fix faults at Indented Head, where stormy and windy weather sometimes cuts our power supply. The last fault was at 4.30am and I received a message reassuring me and saying what time the power would be restored.
Night Owl, Indented Head

BOUQUETS to the staff at Beacon Lighting Waurn Ponds for excellent service. Judy, the manager, went out of her way to assist. She certainly brightened our day.
Happy Customers, Torquay

BOUQUETS to Bellarine Estate’s Peter, Tim and staff and to Monique and the hard-working volunteers of Our Women Our Children for a fantastic longest-lunch fund-raiser for cystic fibrosis and Geelong Hospital’s special care nursery. The food was delicious, the service fantastic and the location superb.
Amanda And Ladies Lunching, Geelong

BUCKETS to cat owners who fail to keep their pets secured within their own properties. Twice in the past fortnight I have discovered the feathery evidence of their deadly incursions onto my property. No wonder so few native birds now appear in my backyard.
Catogynist, Highton

BOUQUETS to Ocean Grove Club Club for making my birthday an event to remember. The food was great, the staff were wonderful and friendly.
Mike and Nicci, Ocean Grove

BOUQUETS to Highton Village shopping centre and Goodo Friday waterfront stall holders for their generous support of Geelong Royal Children’s Hospital Auxiliary. All proceeds will help us buy vital equipment for the hospital.
Gwen Bromley, Geelong Royal Children’s Hospital Auxiliary

BOUQUETS to Barry, at Newtown’s post office. His exceptional service is always provided with a smile.
Isabel, Newtown
