Lawns were not exactly a ‘thing’ until in the 1800s someone felt that nicely cut turf would be a great idea. That’s when a specialist, otherwise known as the scythe man who knew how to cut the grass to a uniform height using nothing more than shearing blades would come and do the lawns. Lawn mowers or other implements were unheard of so this was the only option. The only […]

Let us just face it – it’s June, it’s winter and we are only in the second week. Many days of winter misery stretch ahead. Dreary, uninspiring, grey days are not exactly beckoning you to extract yourself from the radiant heat of a roaring fire, away from your winter creature comforts and it is no different with children. It is hard to conjure up exciting games when half the yard […]

Your lawn looks like earth from afar with bodies of water, continents and islands. If you are one of the ‘lucky’ ones where the water eventually does drain when it actually decides to stop raining you are left with a quagmire with quicksand capabilities or a slippery mess resulting in bruised egos (and behinds), dirty clothes and a silty washing machine. Artificial grass can be the answer to drainage issues […]
To make a decision to step outside the restrictive box of what is considered ‘the norm’ doesn’t necessarily have to be a brave one when it comes to replacing natural turf with artificial grass. There will always be those who believe that it certainly isn’t the quintessential kiwi thing to do. But the essence of ‘being kiwi’ is ingenuity and choosing artificial grass over natural falls well within the realms […]
The second Sunday in May, not that anyone is allowed to forget! Mailboxes bulging with potential fire starters each loudly proclaiming they have the perfect present for the perfect price, ads blaring various wares on tv and endless signage on various platforms as far and near as the eye can see. The annual pre Mother’s Day stampede, the last minute dash to the shops with the hour hand inching ever […]
Another season is upon us, making way for a veritable swath of different scintillating flavours to gambol upon one’s taste buds. Tasty summer produce slowly fading to the recesses of one’s mind becoming a distant memory as the warmer season fades away making way for the abundance of autumn flavours. The grizzling about the cooler weather can easily be forgiven. The biting cold is easily forgotten in the face of […]
School is out. The week at camp was great but nothing like being at home, surrounded by one’s ‘stuff’ and days of freedom laying joyously ahead and adventures, all unknown, lurking around every corner. But nothing could prepare the offspring for their home coming.
