Motorbikes with Mount Fish and Chips

Sometimes we walk through the main shopping area to where we live and outside one of the shops was a line of motorbikes. It's really hard to find a decent fish and chip shop here in NZ and I've heard locally that this place is worth checking out.

Interesting shot, it gives you a nice sense of place and looks so welcoming. Did you try it, how are their fish and chipsI? I don't think I've ever had good ones here and always thought there should be a shop that stays open after bar time with a food cart uptown and on campus.

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).

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 ...
