They are all very beautiful displays and it is wonderful to see, so well done to all those responsible.
I recently purchased a second hand long line for my boat, but as this had a thin nylon backbone on a plastic reel I put on my Xmas wish list a cord backbone to replace this. This is the red cord most fishers are familiar with and is readily available from fishing tackle stores.

This is the red cord most fishers are familiar with and is readily available from fishing tackle stores.
Unfortunately my wife who is not familiar with these went to Hunting and Fishing to try and purchase one. There she was told that these are not available and was instead sold at some expense another set of plastic reel with nylon line, hooks and clips. As I did not want any of these I took the offending item back to get a refund, but I was told that despite the staff getting things completely wrong WE COULD NOT GET OUR MONEY BACK, ONLY A CREDIT NOTE. My wife was then forced to buy at further expense a bait board for the boat, despite the sales person telling her they did not have any even though he was standing beside them.
So overall Hunting and Fishing showed an appalling lack of product knowledge and abysmal customer service. We will certainly never go back there again and I urge others to stay away as well, or at least be very very careful if they do purchase anything there.

Our contractors have brought in extra people to help manage the additional work load but there still may be some delays to the usual pick up times.
We ask people living in the following areas to expect potential delays.
Remember that there is no charge to drop off recycling at the rural transfer stations. Read more about our transfer stations here: ► bit.ly...

She is a friendly professional; her dog is, in her words, "...fascinated by other animals and will sniff and wander, but doesn't really chase them. Whether cats like him depends more on the cat. He is an inside and outside dog, outside when [she is] not at home (needs to be fenced, though)...and sleeps inside."
If anyone has recommendations, please let me know and I'll pass them on.
Thanks in advance :)

She's won a movie voucher from Neighbourly and she has 4 days to claim it. I saw it in a blog post that I accessed through the Leads Newsletter, but Julia seems to live too far away so I can't look her up and send her a message.
If you know her, let her know about her prize, please :-)
