Flowers in Kohukohu

B and I were up in Kohukohu last week, such a quiet little town in the Hokianga harbour. We stopped and had lunch at the local cafe.


B ordered some toasted cheese, onion and ham sandwiches - we call them toasties here in New Zealand.



If you enlarge the photos you should be able to see the menu. I ordered a crispy chicken salad which was delicious and filling.


Hopefully this illustration on the front of the cafe passes as part of Mural Monday.

I could read the burgers and "chips," but had trouble reading the breakfast menu. However, my mind was really on that beautiful mural wall, Amy. It is beautiful and so summer and spring like (where you are now, I believe).

I love all the flowers painted on the sides of this building. I'd say it's a mural. And, the lunch sounds great.

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 ...
