Winter in Awanui


We were up in Awanui yesterday driving through the Far North and stopped near a cafe. We haven't had alot of rain here where we are but it looks like they had had some. The river where these boats are moored was quite full and the ground very soggy with overgrown grass.


Back to work today, it's the start of another week...

Linking up with Our World Tuesday and My Corner of the World.

It sky looks a little dreary, but it makes for great light. I enjoy exploring New Zealand through your photos.

I definitely prefer NZ winters to Kansas winters any day!
I'm so glad you are a part of 'My Corner of the World' this week!

Great sky pics :) Very moody and typical of our dryish winter this year.

I seem to recall that Awanui is a place that everyone going north has been to but nobody remembers.

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 .

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 ...
