Being lost for words isn't a term normally applied to me.
Fortunately, it was a very temporary condition because now I want to tell everyone about the re-vamped Cargo Shed.
I have spent many years working in different areas of craftwork and feel qualified to comment.
At the age of 70, I completed a three-year rangana, flax weaving, course at the Tauranga Wananga.
The revamped Cargo Shed has exceeded my expectations in appearance and the wonderful variety and high quality of work being sold there.
To add further interest, visitors can watch the crafters at work.
Just remember these things are all made locally, so come on Tauranga - go and support the good people down there. Sit down and enjoy a coffee and take time to enjoy the magnificent views.
Congratulations to the tenants of the revamped Cargo Shed. The fight to keep the shed was well worth it.
