Restaurant+Bar


It's another day in very early Autumn for us West Coasters. Last week on my wander around town I caught this shot of a cafe worker sweeping the outside wall of this restaurant+bar in the town square. It's nice now that we have less Summer action - people are starting to order firewood for Winter. Last weekend I met up with Gwyneth who is here with her husband touring New Zealand from Scotland. Very cool to see other bloggers in person.

Nice glass enclosure in this restaurant. As you prepare for fall we prepare for spring! Our winter has been very cold and snowy this year.

I love your autumn themed header shot.

When I first started blogging, I met a lot of local bloggers and it was fun. They have all quit and I haven't met one in real life in years.

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 .

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 ...
