The Pepi Toot beach express


This little train is like an icon here in our town. The Pepi Toot train express regularly gives rides to locals and tourists around our area. It has a 20 seater carriage and train and does a 30 minute circuit tour. I'm not sure who the lady in the pink hat is, I assume she's a friend of the train driver as they were both talking when we walked past.

That is a pretty handy method of transportation. I love mysteries, find out more about the lady in the hat.

What a pretty little train. Kids would love it and so would i. We used to have one here but the taxi drivers complained

What an adorable tourist train. I'd love to ride on that -- although it does look like it would be even more fun with a couple of great-grandchildren (in my elderly case)..... I can see jumping on it in town, jumping off at the beach and back on again later all sandy and sunburned!!

How delightful! I love those little trains, and this one is dressed up so prettily, perhaps in competition with the lady in the pink hat!

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 ...
