Hey wonderful people, just checking in with those who want to help me clean up Welcome Bay Road tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday!
Sorry, I know this is late notice :(

The area we have covered so far in the photo are highlighted with blue lines. I am sadden to see rubbish already starting to fill that section of the road.

Thanks to Cecily's hard work today ringing around and organising how we are now collecting this rubbish and how we are getting it to the transfer station (without paying a cent!)

I've received bags from Keep Tauranga Beautiful and will need to know how many people will be helping clean to arrange reusable gloves, hi-vis jackets and buckets for future cleans.

Tomorrow I will be at Kaiwha Road heading towards Waitao Road from 12pm. If anyone wants to arrive earlier I am more than happy to come down, please let me know :D

For those coming please bring gloves (reusable if possible) and/or tongs and water. Please wear supportive, closed in footwear, hi-vis jacket or bright clothing and hat/sunglasses.

Many thanks everyone, hope to see some more faces :D

How the world's most beautiful tassels are made

Owner from Curtain Clean BOP Ltd

For 91 years, this family-run company has been creating intricate tie-backs and tassels, with the fourth generation now presiding over a business that strikes a fine balance between tradition and modernity.


The rhythmic clickety-clack of 40 weaving machines swells as the doors open at Les Passementeries de l'île de France. They clatter and clash until the clock strikes 12 when, as if by magic, silence falls as the workers break for lunch. Throughout the day, 2,000 metres of braid and fringe pour from the looms in reams of kaleidoscopic colour, while tassels are twisted, pom-poms are fluffed and flowers are knotted by hand.

The tradition of passementerie in the village of Belloy-en-France, north of Paris, dates back to the nineteenth century, but since the Fifties, in France alone, more than 200 passementiers have closed their doors permanently or relocated to Tunisia and China, where both labour and rental prices are tantalisingly cheap. Les Passementeries de l'île de France is one of the last workshops still operating in the country today.
