No more Summer days


Summer is at an end for us in the Southern Hemisphere. Hot temperatures are giving way to cooler days and nights - such bliss. No more sleeping with no sheets or blankets, no more having the fan on while sweltering, the beginning of golden colours.

I think is't especially cool that you have wooded hills near the shoreline. The only hills around our shore are condo's
I love the look of your beaches. The changing of seasons is something to look forward to!

That is a beautiful beach, you and your fellow southern hemisphere bloggers kept me going during the cold nights of winter here. Maybe we can return the favor. Except, I kind of like Fall.

I like the beach. It looks so inviting.

Much as I love the heat (but not humidity) I was always grateful for the air-con for that half hour before I went to bed.

I should have added that as there is a gale blowing here at the moment that lookout tower would have been miles away by now.

That's a beautiful beach. I love your banner photo, it's so pretty. We are supposed to be very cold tomorrow with rain added. Winter shall wind down soon, I'm hoping.

And here we are, desperate for some warmth and sunshine as we have another weekend of snow and ice.

WA hasn't caught up with the program yet Amy, we're expecting another few 35C days this week! Not as hot as Sydney though!
Really reminds me of the Oregon Coast (not to surprising perhaps)..... it's the quiet and the greenery along the beach -- unlike the Atlantic or Caribbean here in this part of the country. (And making me a bit homesick for Oregon).

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 .
