vintage radio return - fleetwood grove
Hello.
About 10 days ago my family was clearing out my dad's garage at the end of Fleetwood Grove (between xmas and new year) we had a couple of skip bins in the driveway which intrigued some neighbours and parkgoers. An older brother and sister started chatting to my brother and brother-in-law and they invited them into my dad's garage for a look around. He has been an engineer by trade so he has lots of fascinating things. My brother offered the man to take a radio. He took this orange one as in the picture below. Unfortunately, we hadn't really looked at all of the radios yet and my son had had his eye on this one as it goes perfectly with his grandad's clock - also see below. it is a good grandad cobo to remember him by.
The sister had a family connection to our family name - Blackler. so that was interesting. But if anyone recognises this brother and sister, then please get in contact. We would love to be able to have the radio back. You are welcome to choose a different radio! (both brother and sister are slim build, grey hair, not sure how local they are).
thank you!

Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Cucumber Plants at Waikanae and Otaki Markets
Rain, wind and cold - just what these veggies don't like! However, better times are on the way and you can get a head start if you have a warm sheltered spot to nurture these seedings. They are coming along well in spite of the conditions.
We'll be at Waikanae tomorrow morning OR come see us at the massive Market and Camping Expo at Otaki on Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm. There will be a lot going on, plenty of entertainment and foodtrucks for sustenance, plus the usual array of quality stalls.
So came and check us out. Even if you are not ready to plant just yet, we can offer advice on varieties and cultivation. If you would like the full ;list of tomato varieties available, please PM me.
