It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

So inspired to see a great crowd from the public on the Sunday -well done to all the teens, mums and dads who made it along to see a fantastic array of career option information. The Monday was manic too with buses arriving from schools across the Waikato region. I had some wonderful conversations with kids and young adults from year 7 upwards, as always they were funny, delightful, awesome kiwi kids -so inspiring!

Fantastic to see careers getting such a dialogue in families, schools and the wider community.

If I can help you or someone you know, please get in touch via my website www.ignitecareers.co.nz...

Have a great week!

So tell us: Do you still like marmalade? Yes or no, don't forget … View moreOnce upon a time, marmalade on toast was a winter staple.
