Golden Arches


I think most of us can relate to the McDonald's sign on the right of this photo, they are just about everywhere. A photo snapped while sitting in the passenger seat of B's work truck as we were driving through town. I was pleased to read though that McDonalds has withdrawn from Russia - now that's something positive.

Have never had one, but it's a long story about pigheadedness. Glad you found the comments. We worried you might think we were ignoring you and we really look forward to your slices of home. Surprised you don't hear moreporks on the Coast. I recall they were plentiful up Motueka way and expected them in all the native bush areas on the Coast. Is a conservation program called for?

I just started watching the movie based on Ray Kroc, the founder of Maccas.
I´ve read the book, too, and sadly gave it away, interesting story!

I'm guessing everyone throughout the developed world now recognizes the Golden Arches. Not sure that's necessarily a good thing. I too was pleased to hear they are no longer going to do business in Russia. In an interesting twist, perhaps Russians will start living longer because their fast food consumption will decline!

The street I live has a McDonalds, it´s drive-in is 24/7. Only couple of times in a year I eat there. It´s ok food but not the healtiest choice. Good to see it´s withdrawing from Russia. 💙💛

We have the Golden Arches in our town here in the province, I always thought of taking a photo of it just that way.. hmm, I think I did - with the moringa pod trees in the background for my advert 2 years ago :) It is still my favorite place to go when my grand daughter wants burger and fries. Glad to know McDonald's is withdrawing from Russia and taking a stand.

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 .
