I'm offering cheap dog grooming on the weekends while I learn and practice.
I have professional equipment and have done some practice with groomers but I'm not knowledgeable on breed specific grooms or styles.
$20 for a full groom of small dogs, inquire if you have a bigger dog. Includes bath, dry, brush, nail clipping and a groom. I haven't got experience doing anal glands so that won't be done.
Booking one dog per weekend for a 9am appointment on Sat or Sun. Message me if interested :)
Most of us will never get THIS upclose with those buzzy pollinators, so we thought you might enjoy this gallery.

Outlaw phantom. Don’t miss Delaney Davidson, one of the most distinctive figures in the NZ music landscape. Known for his hypnotic and original ‘One Man and his Ghost Orchestra’ show, his compelling live performances present jarring yet beautiful songs which command the shadowy musical world of ‘Country-Noir’ and ‘Gothic Americana’.

A senior couple paid Air NZ $1500 for a mystery trip. The trip turned out to be the southern city of Invercargill.

The trip turned out to be the southern city of Invercargill. I would have been slightly annoyed that it wasn't for instance, Queenstown, but i am sure I would have found something that allowed me to have a pleasant time in a city I have never actually been to - and I have been to Queenstown several times.
So the couple complained and got their money back.
What if the couple had found themselves in the city of Upper Hutt and were told that the rules of the mystery trip was that they could not travel to anywhere else but Upper Hutt? Could they have had a great time in a "great" city?
Well they could visit Staglands which is a kind of rugged farmland zoo, they would have to go to Expressions because this place is compulsory viewing. Oh, yes, it might be happiness if their trip coincides with a race day at Trentham, but olay, we now have this craft beer tour and I believe that one of the four craft beer establishments we currently have, now has food available. They could take a walk around Trentham Memorial Park if they are dog fanciers. If the couple are looking for fine dining or a four-five star accommodation then they are probably stretching their luck though Wallaceville House is the best we can offer. And we do have some cafes who give you real Wellington quality coffee. And when its open there is the Devonshire tea barn in Te Marua where their scones are so good that it's a compulsive stop for circuit cyclists.
Is Upper Hutt a better city to visit than Invercargill? Tim Shadbolt would say no.
I have a bare (flat) piece of land (4-500sqmtres) in Lower Hutt that I'm currently not doing anything with. Has drive on access so possible would suit a tiny home - probably looking for a 1 - 2 year lease. Anyone interested? John

What else would you like to see the council doing for the community?
The Library and recycling arguments aside that is. I have an issue with cars being parked all over footpaths and berms when we have some of the widest streets in the Wellington Area.
Our services run under the berms and footpaths and these lazy people who park like this are risking damaging them and causing ratepayer high costs to repair them, aside from that i feel it looks ugly.
What do you think?
Our biosecurity officers do a lot more then just protect our native environment. They are out there talking to the backyard protectors of tomorrow! Two of our team recently visited Plateau School where they talked pests, predators and what happens when you put a banana in a trap...
We've only just started a new programme, have lots of fun events for the end of the year and would love new members to join our growing choir!

I'm hoping someone can help I'm looking at trying to grow kiwifruit (preferably golden but would be happy with green) and have been talking to the local garden shops.
As I understand due to the viruses up north it's not illegal to grow or sell locally but you can't transport plants around the country. As the only nurseries in the country growing kiwi fruit plants are up north no-one can get them down here.
The garden shop suggested trying to find someone locally who has two existing plants (male and female) and try and take cutting to grow them. They will grown in the Hutt quite happily it's just trying to find some.
Has anyone got two plants I could take cuttings off?
