Horse and cart




 I was out on my walk yesterday and happened to see this horse and cart plodding along our main street at the speed of a snail.  This road is our main road through town and is prone to getting grid-locked easily so when I saw a long line of cars behind it I felt really sorry for the horses.  The owner pulled over to the side of the road not long after to let everyone pass.

Hello,

I love the horse and wagon, they seem out of place though. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a great week ahead.

If only all of life proceeded at that pace and with that degree of consideration and graciousness...

That was a fun photo catch! You were in the right place at the right time (and lucky to be walking instead of in one of those cars).

What a brave cart driver! I see lots of slow tractors and trucks but the roads are rural with very little traffic.

It's great to see you at 'My Corner of the World' this week!! Thanks for linking up.

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 ...
