During the 2020 lockdown, she gave away over 140kg in fruit from her home orchard. This year, she didn’t have fruit to swap but her vegetable garden was packed with winter crops. “I had masses of broccoli, cauliflower, kale, silverbeet and French sorrel. So I gave out a lot of parcels of those to anyone I knew who needed it.”

I can be a little wary in new situations and meeting new people, so would love an experienced and patient home. One that has the time to put in the extra training I need as I have not had much. I am very food motivated so will pick things up quickly. I can be very puppy like when comfortable around my people so require a home with older teenagers or an only adult home, one that is confident around larger than life personalities. The team here have mixed me with other dogs, so I could go to a home with an existing dog. One that is social and has a similar play style to me. A dog that is happy to share their space and their humans. I have yet to be cat tested. If you think I am the dog for you please contact the canine team for more information."

Family not interested? | Have you stopped collecting? | Downsizing or moving? | Lying in a cupboard unused? | Unwanted jewellery? | Would cash be more useful?
If yes to any of these questions, then please see our buyers this week. We will buy single items or complete collections.
The recent lockdown has seen many of us take the time to sort items we no longer require or simply want to turn into cash.
We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.
Please see us at any of the multiple venues in the Wellington area.
Buying now at a venue near you deal with the specialists.
