We are updating our living space and have very much loved 3 + 2x1 seaters that we are willing to give away.

We have had this suite for over 10 years now we originally were going to donate it to the salvation army but they obviously didn't want it and we can't bring ourselves to take it to the dump because we love it too much.

Yes, it is starting to look a bit tired with a few tears here and there and the fabric probably needs a clean but the bones are still really good.

So do you know of anyone who has just moved and is needing some interim furniture or a young family that isn't precious about getting things dirty?

flick me a message and I will send you photos. It is currently sitting in our garage and you will have to arrange for it to be collected
They are currently broken up in to there respective chunks and can be remade easily

Hi Neighbours!

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.

Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.

Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.

The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

Jo and Rachel talked about what's going on in their own backyards and suggested some edible crops you can sow and grow yourself. Jo gave a masterclass in planting tomatoes, the pair discussed peeing on lemon trees and keeping cats out of your vege beds, and Rachel talked to a Central Otago gardener who has to deal with extreme temperatures, extreme drought... and temperamental donkeys.
