Top up here


Before we moved down here we walked through Westport with me plodding along with my phone taking random snaps of people, places and things in particular this shop front with a couple walking past talking. The "top up here" sign is for those who are on pre-paid plans with their cellphones and it's a very popular option.

Linking up with Weekend reflections, All Seasons and the Weekend roundup.

Fisher and Paykel - makers of 'whiteware'. Their factory used to be at Mosgiel and it was a sad day for our district when it closed. Are they still manufacturing in NZ - or simply importing overseas made with their brand on it?

Nice weather to take a stroll. In my part of the world everyone is wearing winter clothes.

Nice street photo,Amy. When our daughter worked in London we had a phone that we would "top off" for our next visit. Our recent visit we used our AT&T phones at $15 a day for both. That included phone, text, and data from our AT&T Company.

It almost looks like it's from a decade or so ago - I wonder if that's just the empty street (and I'm used to seeing things crowded?) Thanks for joining in #Allseasons
