Children love this soft fluffy mat. They like to lie down on it and cuddle up to the stuffed head.
I have put it through the washingmachine and it has come up great.

“On Monday evening, the pump on the township’s low-manganese bore faulted and is being urgently replaced. With no water being pumped the water reservoir reserves are going down."
Mayor Beijen said he had been advised that installing the spare pump could be done within a day, but until the reservoir levels have recovered and we know the replacement pump is working well, we must conserve water.
“It’s essential that the community immediately responds to this pressing need to conserve water. If the township uses more water than we can supply from the low-manganese bore, we will have to use the other bores as well. That could mean the town’s drinking water becoming discoloured.
“Although safe to drink, the water could lose its clarity due to the reaction between manganese and chlorine – we want to avoid discoloured water if we can.
“We’re addressing infrastructure replacement as fast as possible, and this is unfortunate timing of an equipment failure,” said Mayor Beijen.
Information on how to conserve water will be shared throughout the community – you can find out more at www.wellingtonwater.co.nz...
“We will update the community when more information is available,” Mr Beijen said.

This plant will take a year or two to flower but after that will flower consistently.

This climber has dainty leaves with deep blue thumb sized flowers right through the Summer. It needs a trellis or fence to climb up but also grows in hanging baskets or pots.
Strictly speaking it is an annual and is a bit frost tender, but it will last two or three seasons. I cut 2 metres of growth off one of my plants growing in a large pot, and its coming away happily again for the Summer.
It is not invasive.
I'd leave this plant in its pot for a month or two yet till its root system fills the pot and then carefully ease it into the ground or where you want it

Reason for selling is that owners have shifted to a smaller house and are downsizing.
