Mystery object at Taupo Bay




When B and I stopped at Taupo Bay a few months ago on our Northland journey we spotted this strange looking thing on the beach with pieces of driftwood in it.

At first I thought it was some kind of sink or basin then we realized it looked like an old washing machine bottom, like one of the retro wringer ones our parents probably had. Looks like it's been well used.

Linking up with Our World Tuesday.

Something like that, but adapted for beach fires?

Surprise, surprise... a old washing machine just like the one my mother had when I was a kid. Thanks for the sweet memories flashback.

I have a nice blue one with geraniums in.

Looks like a nice, quiet beach.

I wonder if it floated in or if someone brought it there. (By the way, I remember that kind of washing machine. My grandmother had one.)
