I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup .

It wasn't a lock-down but a lot of the businesses in my area closed for about a week and a lot of people stayed home in March of 2020. It felt sad and depressing. That's when I started going on long evening walks which helped a lot. That was a year and a half ago and we've been fully open ever since. It's hard to imagine still being locked down.
