Friday Feathered Friend

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Yep, it is not Friday but by coincidence both Andrew Gorrie and Rosa Marie visited Zealandia and photographed a stroppy tūī who did not want to share the sugar feeder.
Check out the photo of a kaka by Gorrie and the tūī by Marie. Which picture do your prefer?

Unfortunately our customers have been telling us that we look closed during the week when our roller door is down, when you're driving past look for our open flag or flashy neon open sign to assure you we are open!

As the weather gets colder we are needing to keep as much warmth in our unique store as possible, which sometimes means we have to put our roller door down. However our branded pink door is always unlocked and our team are always ready to help inside.

Our opening hours are:
Monday to Saturday - 9am - 5pm
Sunday - Closed

Kingfishers/kōtare at the Hutt Estuary

Louise from Woburn

How cool are the sacred kingfishers/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) around the Hutt boatsheds next to the estuary? I've seen at least two, sometimes three, every time I've been there these last couple of months. They perch on the docks or convenient poles and forage for crabs in the little … View moreHow cool are the sacred kingfishers/kōtare (Todiramphus sanctus) around the Hutt boatsheds next to the estuary? I've seen at least two, sometimes three, every time I've been there these last couple of months. They perch on the docks or convenient poles and forage for crabs in the little inlet. Their table manners are brutal. This chap is looking particularly russet in the evening's golden light.

This weeks contribution comes from Louise Thomas.

"Is that a little blue sky this afternoon? I feel like a mole rat emerging after a week in the burrow. This grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) seems pretty happy to see the sun. He's posing in a cedar tree for Christmas cards."

If you are in the market for a new pair of curtains or are potentially looking at getting your existing curtains lined, this blog will cover why it is advantageous for you to be lining your curtains, especially this winter.

Insulation: There are many different materials that can be used for the lining of your curtains, and each one can provide a slightly different result in regards to insulation, etc. For instance, polycotton lining (cotton and polyester) is naturally resistant to heat and still allows a good flow of air, making it suitable for warmer environments and even winter as it can provide reasonable insulation.

When simply looking for insulation for the winter period (or if you reside in an area which is typically colder year-round) it may be more beneficial to look at curtain linings such as the blackout and dim lining or thermal lining. Blackout lining is made from a thicker material, and is, therefore, more beneficial for those who are looking for more of a private and insulated lining. This fabric also allows you to keep in all of the heat in the winter period, and keep out the heat in the summer period, due to the sun being blocked out more from the dimmer and thicker fabric. An additional benefit of this is that you will have a difference in the amount of noise that enters our room/house (wherever the lining is applied).



Visually Appealing: Depending on what fabric you decide on, many of the lining options can add to your room. For example, bonded interlining is....
