This madness it has to stop as it has nothing to do with NZ but for Guy Fawkes who was trying to blow up the parliament in London. I hope that our government stops the private sales of fireworks to protect our animals and give our firefighters a rest from unwanted fires.

Fonterra is selling some of its well-known brands — including Anchor, Mainland, Fernleaf, and Kapiti Fine Foods — to French company Lactalis.
Why? Fonterra says it wants to focus on ingredients rather than consumer brands.

I have here two potted 'Edith Wolford" tall bearded irises. Both pots have a large flowering rhizome which once in the ground will have the rest of the summer to throw out pups which should flower in a year or two.
I am selling the two for $7.00. Two for the price of one.

Bearded iris are easy to grow, enjoy sunbathing their rhizomes on top of the soil and put on an eye catching show every year. Always stunning in a clump.
Thanks for looking.

I have a potted Siberian iris available.
They tend to like damp spots . They die down in the winter then come away again in the Spring with an abundance of deep blue/purple blooms held on tall stalks.
have included a picture of the parent plants .

Hi, Maree of www.lyf4u.co.nz... Coaching Services
Im not a professional around pet care but like many I adore animals.. of all kinds really.
We all love our furry friends,
The dopamine releases we get from them with each caress.
The loyalty and offical welcome of a guard dogs.
The companionship all pets offer, especially if lonely.
The fun of the ball games on the lawn.
The fitness mate on long walks,
The ever present love during illness,
And yes the pouch pics in the family frames.
So please lets be sure to love and protect them, as our valued family, in the same way during #guyfawkesnight
Below are a few tips;
Exercise your pet, so they don’t have excess energy,
Provide food distraction, like toys, bones, long term chewing helps them
Have music playing
Keep pets inside
Close all curtains
Compression/comfort wrapping can be used
You can buy calming products to give during the fireworks season..as a precautionary.
If your pet is outside - like rabbits, ensure extra bedding like straw are added..and if possible put them in a closed space.
Your pet will try to run from their fears- be sure your pet is identifiable, eg, Tags. Chipped.
Don’t light fireworks at home- go to a professional display and keep us all safe
If you attend a professional display-keep all pets at home away from the fireworks..
