The 1/4 acre section


This is mine, my backyard with my house to the right and our neighbour across the road. When we first moved here it was a huge mess with overgrown grass and trees too close to the house. Since we've been here we've had a massive tidy up including planting a lemon tree, a mandarin tree and a cherry tree. We live 5 minutes out of town so far away to not be too close to the neighbours but close enough Greymouth if we need something.


Yesterday morning B and I picked these off one of the neighbour's plum tree that overhangs on our side of the property, they are all look and feel very juicy. Last night we gave half the plums to one of our neighbours and swapped the rest with our other neighbour when he gave us 2 of his tomato plants. Life is good.

A great spot with lots of green grass. And plenty of space for those trees

Looks like you found the perfect spot. Those fruit trees will be nice when they grow and produce fruit.

F is so envious of your 1/4 acre paradise. She has said that you make it seem like it never rains in Greymouth. (Which would be a vast improvement on Southern England in my view.) xxx Mr T

...owning a home has always been the "American Dream." Today that dream isn't reality for many. Congratulations.

Cleaning up the property is always a chore but the end result is well worth it.

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
