That blimmin rain has spoilt them.
I don't think so for if that is spoilt, you must have exquisite specimens! Plus mostly, rain helps the purdy lil' plants :)

Up Front: The Up-Front Guides: The…, in reply to Islander,
I am concerned that the fact that families can & do adopt people is kinda ignored: also the absolute fact that _families_ raise children other than those born & bred in the whanau is also ignored…
Oh certainly not in the fields her and her partner work in. As family (extended and immediate) is extremely important in any decisions allowed to be made by either of them (both work with children at different ends of their well being). Her concern was that often it is putting at risk kids back into a toxic environment when perhaps a same sex couple would be a good alternative. Sadly they don't have the choice. We were just fleshing out ideas and time was a luxury neither of us could afford then, but the conversation will continue and grow much bigger, I am sure.

Your blossoms look promising- (o, and Steve’s birthday koha finally on the way. Small but tasty-)
Not mine but the tree belongs to Kelmarna Organic gardens (open to public for goodies). The nice part is that it hangs over my friends fence and we has lots.:)
yum, yum, and yum yum yum in anticipation. He will be pleased. Hope he gets a chance to read that. he is busy Far North.
Today a friend (and partner) was well enough to venture out and I happened upon these on our travels -

Sof’- that was a lovely sane article!
I felt so too. and yes the bigger picture is just that, much bigger .I was actually talking to a person who deals with families a lot and discussing how she felt about perceptions and it was interesting to note that she felt marriage and adoption being granted to all couples in NZ would only benefit many children needing a loving home and that sometimes the considered "success" for kids is reintegration into dysfunctional families when another family be it any type would be knowingly better. Just her opinion but a knowledgeable one in the context of NZ.

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Gudrun Gisela,
Yes Sofie i am looking at such happenings more so as economies the world world struggle and fail its good to see there are people out there quietly working away and pooling resources
There was a good piece on recycling in Chch on TV3 Campbell live last night.Recover Earth sounds like a wonderful recycling idea thought up by frustration of what was going to landfill. Volunteers are recycling many materials out ofall the buildings being pulled so it is well worth a watch. Plus if you want anything just get in touch with Recover Earth. Nice.
