Ginger Cafe Mural




A few years back when I use to travel to Warkworth quite a bit I took this shot of a mural on the side of the Ginger Cafe, so far my efforts to find out who the artist was has proven fruitless but to me it looks like dancing coffee cups on the left in amongst clouds. I am a coffee drinker myself and I can rate their mochas very very good. I don't think they are business anymore as I can't find any trace of them online which is a pity.



I hope you're staying safe wherever you are. With today being the 1st day of Winter much of Northland has had heavy rain warnings, over the last few days we've had heavy pelting rain and last night was blowing a gale. We have had my parents up over the long weekend staying in their camper in our driveway, they are due to go back today but this morning we were up at "The Rusty Tractor Cafe", one of our favourite spots enjoying "eggs benedict". Time to hibernate I think.

I'm not a coffee drinker, but love eggs benedict, and those look delicious.
Enjoy your parent's visit and hope the weather doesn't get any worse.
I feel like you, time to hibernate, I don't enjoy the cold at all!
Thanks for participating on Monday Murals.

I'm also a coffee drinker, Amy. 24/7 in fact. I think those were coffee mugs. Too bad when there is no information on the artist or mural. I wonder if it's even still there, so it's good you recorded it for posterity. Those eggs benedict look good even to this vegetarian.

Yup, coffee and eggs benedict sounds good to me too Amy. Winter has hit Perth also, although WA Day today was pretty nice ✨

The mural is cool and too bad the Ginger didn’t make it! but the cafe you chose for breakfast would Make me happier than any mural, based on that beautiful serving of eggs Benedict! .... I bet we’d enjoy meeting your folks ... their way of visiting family is the way we prefer too! Close but with your own bed and bath )).

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 ...
