The 10km Puhoi River


On the day we moved to Kerikeri my daughter and I left an hour before the other 2, when we arrived we were an hour late. This is one of the reasons why. The Puhoi River is situated just out of Auckland and just before the town of Warkworth. Such a lovely quiet little town. This river flows southeast from it's source 10 kilometres through Warkworth, through Puhoi then ending at the coast of Whangaparaoa Peninsula. It's mostly used by Kayakers who enjoy the local scenery.

I hope your week has been good so far. For me it's been pretty insane. My 2 days off start today and I have absolutely no plans but to relax. Daylight savings started today so us Southern Hemispherers put our clocks forward last night in preparation of Summer.

The scene looks very peaceful, I can see why kayakers like passing through there. The EU is going to consider eliminating daylight savings after this year. There is a lot of talk about having a vote on it. Many consider it outdated, so we'll see what happens.

I love Puhoi. When I first arrived in New Zealand a group of us used to go up there occasionally.

So wonderful and green. I love these rural photos.
Will be interesting to see what happens to daylight saving here. Were due to change at the end of October. The EU has been talking for a few years about abolishing t

Beautiful river for photos and/or kayaking. Love that you and your daughter stopped to enjoy the scenery on moving day! That's the way life should be.

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
