Speights Mural


We had lunch last week at the local Speights Ale House here in Greymouth, I will post photos from that soon but I spotted this mural on one of the walls next to the bar. I'm not sure who painted it, it could be a corporate thing as they have other restaurants around Aotearoa but it does what it's suppose to do...it looks old and historical to fit with the building.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

That's rather cool. I've been to a few different Speight's ale houses and can't say I have seen one like that - which isn't to say that they aren't there and I simply haven't noticed them!

That was a lovely mural, Amy. We apparently don't get that beer in the states.

F has a big wooden spoon made out of kauri - a plank from the floor of the old malting room at the Dunedin Speights brewry.

That's a nice one. That mural suits the place. It's like a label, especially when it's over that door. :)

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 .

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 ...
