Wednesday around the world - what I like about Spring


Lighter mornings - means more walks along the surf beach.


More sea creatures coming in and out with the tide on the rocks.


People getting outside enjoying their hobbies in the warm sunshine.


Colourful sunsets. Sometimes I walk this way with my dog at night, there's plenty of new houses being built around the different streets.


Flowers blooming, These Hibiscus thrive in the sandy soil here by the beach.

Would love to hear what's happening in your part of the world. For more WATW check out Betty's blog :-)

I like spring too but up here in the north I am not really looking forward to warmer weather, it was already warm enough thank you. I love watching the change of season, even if it is only a small change. I love seeing the flowers come into bloom and here there is also big changes in the scenery as sugar cane is cut.

I would LOVE to live near the sea and enjoy the coastal walks more. There is something so nurturing about it

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
