Having a special celebration in July this year is something Greytown Village thought everyone would enjoy. And a mid-winter festival with lights, decorations and special events that emulate a Northern Hemisphere Christmas is perfect.
Most Main Street businesses will light up their buildings with some putting on a special light show each evening. They'll be a giant Christmas Tree outside the Town Hall and beautiful window displays and wreaths and garlands adorning buildings. Will Santa show up in Greytown? You may see him for photos at the Santa Cave near the Town Hall on the weekends.Special accommodation packages and restaurant menus are being planned, in-store promotions will be in place across shops, and entertainment and street events for the weekends. Only an hour from Wellington - Christmas is just around the corner this year! Check out all the details of the festive family fun, decorated homes, lights, Christmas treats and menus, top shopping offers and much more on the website.

During winter it is easy to lose heat, and in summer it is easy to overheat a home if windows are not appropriately covered. Lining is a cost-effective addition to help protect your curtain fabric, while providing some added insulation for the home, reducing window heat loss by 40-60% when closed. Working all year round, lined drapery is an important tool in creating a thermal insulation barrier. Lined curtains have an added lining layer on the back of the curtain which can be attached to the curtain or can be hung on a separate track behind the curtain.
Linings help your window furnishings last longer: With a good quality lining, your chosen curtain fabric is shielded from the harsh UV rays of the sun, preventing your fabric from fading.
Linings provide added privacy: A lot of fabrics are only somewhat private, especially at night. Adding a lining to your window furnishings will increase the opacity of the treatment, ensuring complete privacy.
Linings provide increased insulation: Insulated linings trap air in and between the layers of fabric, preventing the heat in your homes escaping out the windows, and offering significant savings on your energy bill.
Linings can provide light control: Ideal for bedrooms and media rooms, block-out linings allows you to block light coming through a window and keep your rooms dark in the middle of the day.
Linings improve the appearance of window furnishings: The colours of your chosen fabric can appear richer when a lining is placed behind them. Without a lining, sunlight coming through a fabric can make the colours appear washed out during the day.
Call us or your local Curtain makers to discuss adding a lining to your current curtains.
Hi Neighbours is anyone able to recommend someone who can lay tarmac? I’d like my driveway and a path doing. I’ve tried Builders Crack but companies must be so busy they don’t get back to you....
Thanks!

This issue is packed with good reads and amazing offers from our friends and partners. We take a close look at urban farmer Freeman Farms, and visit an Auckland coastal garden that the owner waited three long decades to create as well as a Dunedin garden where they’ve grown flowers for nearly 50 years. We're still on the hunt for our Houseplant Hero, thanks to our friends at Yates and Kings Plant Barn. Nominations are now open for our 2020 Ryman Healthcare Gardener of the Year too! There’s a feature on walnut growers in NZ, highlights of new roses coming out this year and of course, details on how to get yourself $20 worth of free bulbs from NZ Bulbs.

In this exhibition I feature some artworks which have the topic Covid-19 (Some also the topic Racism).
Start viewing the exhibition here: theexhibit.io...
Don't forget you can view the exhibition at any time before it opens, so start viewing now to discover, bookmark and share your favourite artworks!
I look forward to seeing you there.
What else is new? Some of my artworks are now also represented and sold through a gallery in Tokyo, Japan. I'm also looking forward to some International Art Fairs in Europe later this year in which some of my works will be represented by a gallery in Italy.
The probably best way for locals to purchase my artwork is to contact me directly, because then there will be no shipping costs involved (and also 'local' prices!). Follow me on Instagram or Facebook @ngaiophoto.
Enjoy!
Sebastian
Due to moving my uncle into care we need to get rid of a few things. This is a bagless vacuum cleaner. Brush and detail attachments included. I have just had the hose replaced as the catch was broken. I am just looking to recoup the cost of the repair.
