They do not have to be in perfect condition as we can fix them up to suit. Price given is just so we can place this request so happy to discuss. Project to be continued over the Christmas holidays so no rush if you are renovating but do not quite have the windows or doors out yet. Looking forward to hearing from you 0211222580

Dogs lolling beneath cafe tables while their owners sip lattes or glasses of pinot would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.
Now it is just the way Kiwis roll, with a raft of dog-friendly dining options available throughout the country. What do you think? Should dogs be allowed in cafes?
Not selling but does anybody have any unwanted plants looking for white, pinks, purples scrubs, flowers lavenders etc. must be very cheap or free.

Hi there,
Love the show, but here is a situation that I think is a bit rough.

Love the show, but here is a situation that I think is a bit rough. Two older teens left the show on Friday at 1 pm (they had something they wanted to do and it was planned), they returned at 3:30 pm. They had their stamp on their hand to let them back in. They also had nearly $60 worth of tickets to use on rides as the lines had been so long in the morning, they had only used their tickets for one ride. $60 was the cheapest amount of tickets you can buy (or that was their understanding). The Show advertised that it finished at 5 pm on Friday.
But when they tried to re-enter the grounds at 3:30 pm, and I was with them as I was driving them - the security man on the road outside said, "No Entry". When I asked why, he said, "No, they are moving everyone out now and no-one is allowed back in." I explained they had been given a 'pass out' and they had tickets for the rides which they had paid for. He was insistent that 'they' were directing people to leave now and were closing things down.
I thought this wasn't right and so explained that if that was the case, we would go in and get a refund on the tickets for the rides. At this point, I wasn't asking, I was quite firm with my intentions - polite but firm.
So, he allowed us to enter the grounds.
My next dilemma was that I hadn't paid to get in at all. And the ticket booth had clearly closed down. I never intended to go in, but thought I should go in to see what was going on.
To my surprise and delight, the rides were all still going and although lots of people were heading out, no-one was being encouraged out. Stalls were still up and going and it seemed to me it was business as usual.
I can't see why the man on the road would have told us they couldn't go back inside, and I can't see why he thought it was all over at 3:30 pm.
What concerns me is if I hadn't been with the kids, they would have probably just accepted what he said and turned around to come on home. And how many others got turned away who could have gone in and spent money on items from stallholders who were paying to be there till 5 pm and hoping for more sales.
I can understand them saying, no more tickets being sold after a certain time, but 3:30 seems a little early and if they are giving people pass out stamps to come back in, they need to explain that they can only come back before a certain time if that is indeed the case.
Anyway, no harm done really - but I don't think it was right to turn the kids away in the first place. And I am feeling uneasy that I got in without paying - but if I hadn't felt I needed to escort them in, that would never have been the case. And once I saw they could use their tickets, I decided I may as well stay as what was the point of going home only to have to come back and get them - so I wandered around and enjoyed seeing some pretty cool local people with their stands and products.
Don't beat me for staying once I was in! I am aware of the moral dilemma there.

They want a sale and have instructed us to present all offers.
Beginning life as a renowned restaurant and currently operating very successfully as boutique accommodation, The Peppertree works very well as a function centre and would also make a superb cellar door. Located with State Highway frontage close to Blenheim and situated on the soon to open Picton to Kaikoura cycleway, it is ideally positioned to cash in on Marlborough’s growing tourism industry.
Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. The heart of the home is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large wood burner with wetback and solar heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring warmth year-round.
Encompassing four hectares and featuring organically managed vineyard and gardens, fruit trees, berry patches, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle, and horses, The Peppertree is close to being self-sufficient. The extra land also offers an opportunity for future expansion and development.
The rateable value for land and improvements is $1,520,000.
All offers requested to be received by 4 pm Wednesday 27 November 2019.
For more information or an appointment to view, please contact Michal or Tim.
