Hannah is a fine artist, illustrator and designer who will be resident in the Treehouse between 1 Feb to 1 April 10.30—3pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
She says, “I am interested in the meanings humans read into images. My paintings - whether still life or figurative - play with a make-believe mythology. Memories, objects, and stories handed down from parents and grandparents — or handed up from my children — feature alongside woven and collected natural materials foraged during half-remembered summer holidays”.
The sights and smells of nature during summer and autumn always make her creative sap rise. She says “What a treat to be working in the Gardens amongst such a well of inspiration at this time of year!"
Hannah is looking forward to meeting you at the Treehouse. All art work is for sale with a portion of the sale going towards various Friends projects.
Art classes will also be available – watch this space for further details
Persistent low-frequency hum/rumbling noise
Hi Neighbours,
Am I going crazy or has anyone else been hearing a persistent low-frequency hum/rumble (like an idling engine or generator) in the Wilton/Wadestown/Northland area? It’s not loud in terms of decibels but it is very penetrating, seems to be present 24/7 though especially … View moreHi Neighbours,
Am I going crazy or has anyone else been hearing a persistent low-frequency hum/rumble (like an idling engine or generator) in the Wilton/Wadestown/Northland area? It’s not loud in terms of decibels but it is very penetrating, seems to be present 24/7 though especially noticeable in the quiet of night time, and is interfering with sleep. I experience it almost as much as a kind of vibration in my ears as an audible sound. It’s less noticeable outside or when there is other ambient noise (TV, wind/rain etc.) but is definitely coming from outside, at some distance away. I’m at the upper end of Cecil Rd., so I’m wondering if it could be coming from the port? I first noticed it for a couple of weeks over Christmas/new year, then it went away for a few days but has been back again for the past week or so.
I would sure like to know I’m not the only one hearing it! Would also love to know where it’s actually coming from and if it’s something that is likely to stop eventually.
Thanks for any ideas or insights!

The difference between Lined and Unlined curtains
Curtains are an essential part of every home’s decor. And having the right curtains can be the last piece to the puzzle - the furnishing that makes the room, while having the wrong ones . . . well, no one wants to look at bad curtains.
When given an option, should the curtains be lined or … View moreCurtains are an essential part of every home’s decor. And having the right curtains can be the last piece to the puzzle - the furnishing that makes the room, while having the wrong ones . . . well, no one wants to look at bad curtains.
When given an option, should the curtains be lined or non-lined? What are the differences? We'll find out in this article.
Lined curtains, as the name would suggest, have a supplemental lining on the inside of the curtain. This lining can be multifunctional so it’s best to consider what you want to achieve with your curtains.
Sometimes the lining is simply for decoration, giving the curtain a bit of depth and extra weight, perhaps offering a splash of colour to offset the primary colour of the curtain.
More often than not, they are often designed to be noise cancelling, heat insulating, or fully light blocking, among other things. If for example, you’re planning your living room to also be a fully functional home entertainment centre, 100% blackout - lined curtains would be your best bet.
Lined curtains offer better privacy due to the extra thickness of the fabric. They often have extended lifetime compared to unlined curtains due solely to the lining preventing the fabric from fading.
Unlined curtains, on the other hand, have their own advantages.
They are both lighter and airier making them perfect for rooms that have either smaller or fewer windows and a tendency to remain dark.
They allow natural sunlight to fill the chosen area while still providing privacy to the homeowner. This has the added benefit of reducing the potential need for electrical light and thus ultimately reducing one’s electric bill.
Another perk is that unlined curtains cost less than lined curtains on average and so are a more affordable solution. The reduced amount of fabric used for unlined curtains also means that they attract less dust than lined curtains, which in turn creates fewer risks for those with allergies.
They are washing machine-friendly which is huge in itself. You will save both time and money avoiding dry cleaning.
Lastly, for those people who enjoy changing the appearance of the room frequently, unlined curtains are easier to hang or take down and store, and with their reduced costs, infinite combinations are possible.
Whether choosing lined or unlined curtains, the fact remains that curtains are the one element that pulls a room together. Both options have their pros and cons so homeowners must consider what purpose the curtains will be fulfilled before making their purchase.

Now they have returned home, I have no further use for them.
The Cuisinart ice cream maker has only been used twice with great success. It is very simple to use and makes ice cream, sorbet or frozen yoghurt in about 20 minutes. These were over $400 new . Now a fraction of the price: $40.
