It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms.

So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

Please be careful when driving as there have been reports of black ice and slips which have caused hazardous conditions.
- Snowfalls had closed the Lewis Pass (SH7), Crown Range road and the Milford Road (SH94) from Hollyford Rd junction to Milford. The alternative route to the Crown Range via Kawarau Gorge was open but there could be black ice.
- Snow was also falling in Arthur's Pass (SH73). Falls were also expected around the summits for Haast Pass (SH6), Lindis Pass (SH8).
- The Queenstown Lakes District Council says there is black ice "across the network", especially Malagans Road, Glenorchy Road, Fernhill Road, around Arthur's Point and Kelvin Heights.
