Price drop! We really want this to go to a new home.
We are reluctantly selling this beautiful dining table. It's huge, 2.2m long, and easily seats 8. It's also extremely heavy. Unfortunately it won't fit in our new home so it must go. We purchased it from Vast in Wellington 3 … View morePrice drop! We really want this to go to a new home.
We are reluctantly selling this beautiful dining table. It's huge, 2.2m long, and easily seats 8. It's also extremely heavy. Unfortunately it won't fit in our new home so it must go. We purchased it from Vast in Wellington 3 years ago for $2000. No dining chairs.
Table is in excellent condition and always very well taken care of. One or two very minor almost unnoticeable scratches (you can only see them if looking from a certain low angle). We have hardly used it, mainly only for Christmas twice, so it really is in good nick.

Prior to that I was a member of a thriving and valuable writers' group, and I miss that monthly contact. What I miss most is hearing other people's work; getting feedback on my own; sharing writerly news. So, I wondered if there would be any interest in budding or experienced writers out there who might be interested in forming a group in Featherston. I'm happy for the group to meet at my place, unless someone has a better idea for a venue. If you're a writer I'd love to hear from you!
