Amazing what you can do with layering techniques and Osmo and yes they feel as smooth as they look. The seat surface was original, everything else was covered in polyurethane which we sand of and than used Osmo NZ to recreate the original finish. Like our Page if you like our work :-)

Did you know outside gilding will outlast a painted surface by many years (providing the prep. work has been carried out professionally). The inscription below is over 20 years old and still going strong. The protective properties of an oil gilding mean not only will it outshine any paint but it will outlast it too, so over the years a sustainable win-win situation, if you ask us. We can gilt almost anything, from gates, roofs, walls, ceilings to sculpures and memorials.

We are absolutely delighted that Hackthorne Gardens has made it to the list of finalist for the 2018 Heritage Awards. Congratulations to all the amazing finalist. It is wonderful to see the hard work everyone has put into conserving the heritage we still have left in Canterbury, while facing the challenges which come with working in this sector. Truly delighted to be part of the amazing team which brought Hackthorne Gardens back to its former glory.

My first business card... For my own business

We're still buzzing!

Together with the Lyttelton Arts Factory we held a riotous quiz night on Saturday 22nd May, with well-loved local Joe Bennett the star of the show as quizmaster at LAF. With a full house and an eclectic audience, Joe’s left-field approach to general knowledge had the teams in stitches vying for the top spot. Five rounds, including a challenging series of international museum questions saw the leaderboard change throughout the night, with a team of Lyttelton locals, ex-Volcano Cafe owners Lois Ogilvy, Pete Evans and friends taking out the winning prize.

The quiz night kicked off the Museum’s Community Korowai/Cloak of Tiles Campaign, where ticket holders could bid on the live auction at half time to purchase their own piece of history.

Along with a raffle hamper donated by local store Henry Trading, the night was a huge success with proceeds going towards the Museum rebuild.

Peter Rough, Vice President of the Lyttelton Historical Museum Society invites Cantabrians to get behind this campaign to be part of the new history of the Museum. “We have a bold vision for our Museum and we want this new building to become part of the fabric of Lyttelton. Purchasing a tile means securing our taonga and stories of Lyttelton and the Harbour for future generations, in addition to seeing your name on our donor’s wall in the new Museum”.

Tiles to clad the outside of the museum can be purchased for a one-off donation of $1500, or paid by installments over three years, with all donations eligible for a 33% tax deduction.

COVID-19 ALERT LEVEL UPDATE

From 11:59pm tonight, Auckland moves to Alert Level 3 and the rest of New Zealand moves to Alert Level 2. The measures will remain in place for three days until midnight Wednesday.

They will be reviewed on a 24-hour basis and we will provide regular updates.

This is a response to the latest community outbreak in Auckland which is currently under investigation. We don’t yet have a complete picture of the potential source of the infection and spread. Accordingly, we have chosen to respond with a high degree of caution because of the possibility that this might be one of the new more transmissible strains of COVID-19.

Three days will give us time to gather further information on the source, and undertake further testing, as well as breaking any chains of transmission if the virus is present wider in the community.

We have planned for the likelihood of further community outbreaks and have activated our national resurgence plan. We have stamped out the virus before and we can do it again.

AUCKLAND ADVICE

We are asking that people in Auckland stay home, and work and study from home if possible. For information on the Auckland boundary, please see our website: https://covid19.govt.nz/travel-and-the-border/travel-within-new-zealand/regional-travel/auckland-boundary-description-for-alert-level-3/

Travel in and out of Auckland is restricted to essential travel only - otherwise you must stay in the region. If you must leave home, keep a 2-metre distance from others and wear a face covering if possible.

If you are an Aucklander, you can travel to Auckland to return home. But you should not travel out of the region unless you have to. This is vital to us getting on top of the situation.

Please follow instructions from public health officials, and if asked to get a test or self-isolate please do so. If you have symptoms, get tested. It is free. Call your doctor or Healthline on 0800 611 116 for advice.

Children should learn at home if possible. Early learning centres and schools in Auckland are open for children whose parents have to go to work and have no care giver arrangements, particularly essential workers.

Businesses can open, but cannot offer services that involve close personal contact, unless it is a supermarket, primary produce retailer, pharmacy, petrol station, or hardware store providing goods to trade customers, or if it is an emergency or critical situation.

Public venues must close. This includes libraries, museums, cinemas, food courts, gyms, pools, playgrounds and markets.

Gatherings of up to 10 people are allowed for wedding services, funerals, and tangihanga only. Physical distancing must be maintained.

Please see our website for reminders on life at Alert Level 3: https://covid19.govt.nz/alert-system/alert-level-3/

REST OF NEW ZEALAND

The rest of New Zealand needs to remain vigilant. This means stay home if you’re sick or vulnerable, wash your hands regularly and well, and use the NZ COVID Tracer app by scanning QR codes and keeping your Bluetooth turned on in the app, or sign in if you can’t use the app.

Businesses and schools remain open but public health guidance including physical distancing and record keeping need to be maintained.

Hospitality businesses must keep groups of customers separated, seated, and served by a single person with a maximum of 100 people at a time.

Mass gatherings will need to be limited to 100 people. Gatherings of up to 100 people are allowed for wedding services, funerals, and tangihanga.

Keep physical distancing of 2 metres from people you don’t know when out in public. Keep 1 metre physical distancing in controlled environments like workplaces, where practical. Wear a mask or a face covering if physical distancing is difficult.

Please see our website for reminders on life at Alert Level 2: https://covid19.govt.nz/alert-system/alert-level-2/

TESTING

Testing centres across Auckland reported strong demand for testing this afternoon. All testing locations in Auckland are available on the Auckland Regional Public Health Service website (https://www.arphs.health.nz/public-health-topics/covid-19/where-to-get-tested/), on Healthpoint and at www.covid19.govt.nz

It’s important the right people can get access to testing — so please don’t rush to a centre if you are well, or if you weren’t at one of the locations of interest. We are anticipating high demand at our COVID-19 testing sites and delays are possible, so our request is to please be patient.

If you have symptoms but have not been to a location of interest stay home and call Healthline for advice.
