Quirky villa in Te Kopuru
In mid 2010 I worked in Dargaville for about a year, sometimes I'd drive around the area looking for interesting things to take photos of. This vintage villa in Te Kopuru is loaded with decorations and is owned by local Leon Searle, he use to be a fisherman but is now retired. The garden is mostly full of fishing floats (buoys).
Moving along...this week has been full of surprises for us. Our landlord dropped by with a letter saying we have 45 days to find another rental property. Talk about bad timing. When we signed up for this one last year they asked us to sign a 1 year lease which we thought was a bit suspect so we refused. Looks like they only wanted us here for that period of time, apparently they want to move in as owners which legally they can do so we are trying to find somewhere new before we go on holiday.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

I like the place.
It would have been nice if they had actually spelled that out from the start. I'm on a month to month lease at present, but looking for new lodgings, as my landlord has turned out to be an utterly incompetent nitwit who can't manage a thing and who thinks bringing in an unlicensed electrician to do a job and who shows up drunk is a good idea.
Good clouds.
Beautiful facade. Good luck on your new place.
Worth a Thousand Words
Good luck in your search fro a place to live.
Sorry to hear about the rental situation. Sounds like a big hassle. Looks like an interesting old house!
It is a wee bit quirky Amy 😉 so sorry to hear about your imminent moving problem, is 45 days the legal amount of notice landlords can give tenants?
Dealing with landlords can sometimes be so frustrating!
