Strawberries anyone?


So while Summer is on it's way here I happened to see someone trying to sell Strawberries a bit earlier than expected. Sundays and Mondays are B's day off so I usually venture out for a long walk while he sleeps in. A large bowl of them was priced at $20 nzd and a smaller bowl was priced at $10, bit expensive I think and not sure how sweet they would be at this time of year either.

They do sound expensive. Delicious when they are in season.

The large bowl of strawberries would cost €12 here and that is spendy.

Early strawberries might be good for jam. Are you allowed to sample one before you buy?
We have another 6 months to wait for ours.

Seriously??? I don't think i can afford to come home. I'll miss Greek strawberries at a couple of euros a kilogram for most of the summer.

Strawberries this early doesn't really seem right, but I have seen a few for sale in the supermarket. I won't be getting any until the weather is warmer and I know the fruit will be sweeter :)

I love strawberries but sometimes it pays to wait a bit.

We can get strawberries at the supermarket but they tend to be a little expensive at the moment as our season is over. There is a link about Phoohsticks in my blog but as to the history you need to read A A Milne, Whinie the Phooh

I have seen them for sale as well. Not my favourite, I would rather wait for cherries although I have seen them advertised as well and it does seem extremely early.

Not long ago we had an oversupply of ripe strawberries round $2 AU a punnet. I went for them. Nice stewed. They are not always tender and excellent more chewey oftentimes.

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 ...

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 .

Vondel

  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 .
