Tis the season for citrus and colds


Yesterday I was out and about with the other half getting out of the house and we stumbled across a tree laden with Mandarins - because it was on a property owned by the company he works for we were able to pick a few to take home with us and enjoy for morning tea. Because it's winter here right now citrus fruit are coming into season including lemons and oranges.


Something else in season right now are Camellias - this one I spotted next to the Mandarin tree, so nice to see some colours at this time of year. As for me I'm stuck with the flu at the moment and had to rebook a job interview I had for today to next week so I hope the rest of you have a great day :-)

I hope you get better soon. Two of the family on the farm are down with colds, so I'm saying my prayers it stays away from me. You need to find a lemon tree now!

I like the idea of eating oranges straight from the trees!

Yum, mandarins. Citrus are popping on our side of the hemisphere, too. I used to think of them growing in cool temperatures. Best wishes on feeling well soon.

Sorry to read about your flu, but hopefully the mandarins will fix you up. I didn't know Camellias were in season. Oddly, I noticed ours today, and was surprised to see them flowering now.

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 ...

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 .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
