Check out the very popular $7 (250g) options, which are in demand for gift packs (both individual and for clients) plus the family-friendly $20 pack (1L). Some pottles have been heated gently to become liquid and easy-pour; while others have been left to firm up for non-sticky easy-use. The boys are delighted with the generous compliments on the flavour of this honey. Try some . . . and check out the story behind this hard-working bunch of boys!

Bought these brand new before we shifted from Wellington to our Masterton homestead and then found they were a bit short for our family and formal lounges or guestroom. So never used, immaculate condition and beautifully box-pleated and lined.
Measurements are close to but not utterly exact as it's hard to precisely measure already-made-up drapes.
3 x 2050 length x 1100 wide
1 x 2050 length x 1420 wide
1 x 2050 length x 1930 wide
1 x 2050 length x 1460 wide
The photos show the slight satin sheen plus width of the two-tone stripes plus the lovely box-pleats and the immaculate cotton lining. We have something similar hanging in our formal lounge so if you'd like to view please contact me on 0274-579-480.
Keen to sell fast as we're renovating and need to clear out cupboards.
Cheers

We will be completing this repair tonight between 11pm-3am, this will involve water being shut off. Water is expected to be back on at 3am, however if there are any delays we will notify Wellington City Council who will share this information on their social channels.
Noise will be minimal, and affected businesses/residents have been informed.
Full traffic flow will be maintained through the intersection, with existing traffic management in place due to the closed shoulder on the Northern Western corner of the Dixon/Willis Street intersection.

The grant aligns with the schools commitment to teaching sustainability and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
South End School is one of seven schools to receive STEM equipment from the School-gen Trust’s second round of funding and was the only school granted solar panels. The remaining six schools will receive a $5,000 grant to put towards STEM teaching resources.
School-gen Trust selected South End School based on their efforts in teaching sustainability, with the entire school implementing projects that use STEM resources and applying these to real life projects.
We engaged the entire school to research and design their own dream eco-building, it was really great to see the student’s creativity come to life as well as enhance their interest in STEM, South End School Principal Clare Crawford says.
“We are a partner of the charity, Te Kura O Papatuanuku Wairarapa Earth Schools, they come into the school and provide project-based learning where students develop skills in sustainability, science, engineering and mathematics through garden-based learning.
‘’The addition of the solar package creates further opportunity for students to take ownership of their hands-on STEM sustainability learning within each Te Kura O Papatuanuku project,’’ says Crawford.
Ensuring future generations are provided with the best education possible, is especially important with New Zealand’s growing reliance on STEM skills in the workforce, Vanessa Sorenson, School-gen Trust Chair says.
