Classic Car


This week has been good so far. Apologies if I've mentioned this already but I started my new job a few weeks ago and felt like it just wasn't for me. Ever had that experience where you are doing something and it doesn't feel right? That was exactly it. On a spur of the moment thing, a friend and I popped into a local hotel/pub to ask if they had any jobs and apparently it was perfect timing because I'm now working in their kitchen and loving it. So far so good and I spotted this car parked in their parking lot.

Love all the chrome on these old cars, but I read now that chrome is being phased out and won't be used on any new cars now. A pity, as it seems to add that little touch of class.

1953 Humber, a British car. That is approximately correct, it has the lines of the 1953. I owned a 1952 and 1953 Fords. (Also owned two 1950s, a 1951, then jumped to a 1956 (had two of those, a convertible and a 4-door sedan--my two Ford Mustangs are antiques now, a 1974 and a 1998, that is 25 years old or older in Texas.)
p.s. I like your old car header photo. Best wishes on the new job.

I drove a Singer Vogue (a sister car of the one you've shown) back in the day when it wasn't a classic car! I suddenly feel quite old!

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 .
