I am selling my lovely Orchid due to cutback of plants.
Usually just keep it at the back of the house and bring to my frontage in the spring when it is a mass of gorgeous pink flowers. Looks after itself!! Look up on Google for pictures of this beautiful orchid.

Garage Sales

I am sure there are other folk who would appreciate early notice also.

A Happy Story

Today we saved a little creature that had fallen into our pond over night. This is what happened this morning. I seen a small ripple in the pond water, for some reason i look out the window at just the right time .As we have frogs in the pond at first i thought it was a frog but then i seen what looked like a spikey thing swimming in the pond ,i then realized it was not a fish but a small hedgehog. I then yelled out to Michelle we have to save a drowning hedgehog in the pond. We both ran as fast a we could. Michelle got the the net and scooped him out. The poor little guy looked like he had been swimming all night. We put him on the lawn, he looked up at us, as if to say thank goodness you saved me! You could see the gratitude in his little face. He was absolutely exhausted and was shaking with being so cold. We took him inside, put him in a box, Erick kept him warm with a hair dryer and a heater. He had a big sleep and then awoke with a appetite. So we got him some cat food which he thoroughly enjoyed and then went into a bush and had another nap, and then later he was gone. Back to living a hedgehog life. 😁 The funny thing was he seemed to know we were there to help him and was extremely friendly toward us. The moral of the story is, every life is worth saving. A very happy ending, oh and by the way, the pond now has a make shift safety fence to protect the hedgehogs ha ha!

We named him Terry Flatwood. Don't ask us why

😂

See the photo he has Ericks beanie hat to keep warm.

Any age. Need to be friendly so the children can feed them sheep nuggets and maybe pat them! And so I can catch them for shearing, drenching etc (no yards there). Will be well cared for :) Can have visits with a nice Arapawa ram once a year.

Bunnings allows dogs on leads in their stores, I have seen dogs defecating in the aisles with owners wiping the mess but leaving smears on the floor, seen dogs climbing on the patio furniture displays and sniffing at the food displays at the cafe area.
I have mentioned this to Bunnings management and have been told that this is now their national policy.
My response as a shopper will be to answer with my feet and rather use the competition where there is a lesser health risk

Taihape's A&P Show and Gumboot Day have joined forces in 2021 to create the Go Throw Show, set to kick off at Memorial Park at the end of the month.

Taihape Community Development Trust Project and Events Co-ordinator Pania Winiata said the town's A&P Show usually ran in January, with Gumboot Day taking place in March. "Discussions occurred over the Covid-19 period, and it was decided, let's put on one big event'.

Market stalls, food stalls, static stalls, shearing, gumboot throwing, wood chopping, hobby horses, cottage Industry, live bands, activities and rides for the children are just a few of the attractions on offer this year.

The Taihape Riders will be there giving rides and are fundraising for our Taihape Playground Group, for a new playground down at Memorial Park.

Tyson Burrows from Taihape's Rustic Steak House, will be returning to sell food as well as doing a food demonstration.

The squash club will also be opening up, so if anyone wants to know what squash is all about they're more than welcome to go and have a hit.

Most of all a big thank you to everyone who will be part of the event, whether it be as a stall holder, displays, sponsor or volunteer Saturday the 30th Jan will be a great day to be had by all.
