Classic car love




Every now and again when I'm at work the odd classic car pulls up in the carpark, over the last few weeks I've whipped my phone out and taken these 2 photos - I just love classic cars.

I love classic cars too - my favs are from the 1950's and 1960's

How unusual to see them in an ordinary car park.

I love classic cars in terms of the styling. I'd rather drive a modern car!!

We saw some lovely ones on our trip to the Bay of Islands.

The second catches my eye.

You and F's brother. He's got sheds full of assorted classics and 'muscle' cars, but as he gets older has realized life (or his life anyway) needs more in it than the constant job of caring for them.

...the Cadillac convertible is what we call a "big boat!" And the Chevy has a classic Two Tone paint job! Thanks Amy for sharing these Hot Wheels.

Those are big old cars. They must stand out on the roads. Lovely to see them in your carpark

Beautiful classic captures. Nice shots!

Love those cars, too! We have two "around the corner", in the open, I always think it´s crazy to let them face the weather ... and people, but especially the latter leave them alone, which I love, as trust gets rewarded.

I´d also love a kiwi-box, but I just looked it up - thanks to Covid New Zealand has code orange to us which means it might be possible if I send something to you it might come back to me as your country accepts no parcels or only with huge delay from Germany... Maybe that goes the other way round, too? I love your offer, though! But please check before. I´d sure like to give you my address, via e-mail or FB-chat (is that safe? Is anything safe, LOL...)
I have one parcel sitting here since November for Perth... code orange...

Facebook... it´s a tad crazy.
When Ingo was severly sick an online friend from the US from the health sector helped me big, she also opened a FB account for me, without asking. So not give away my data she chose my surname in English. I find too many "Amies" in New Zealand, so I simply give you my odd link here, and you contact me OK?

They are a sight to see. I had no idea how many of them are in NZ until I saw my first Americarna (https://americarna.com/ ) tour. It's only in Taranaki, but might be a reason to plan a visit!!

I'm happy 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 ...
