Changes

 


So much has happened to us over the last 5 years. Different memories have been coming up on my Facebook page. I moved from Northland to Tauranga in 2015, then we moved to Kerikeri in 2018, then to Mangawhai in 2019, then back to Kerikeri in 2020. Covid and lockdown happened, I had no job, no money coming in, no nothing. Then 2 years ago we moved to Greymouth for the purpose of buying a house. Alot of changes have happened to us, hopefully we don't have to move again for quite some time.

Hopefully now you can settle in and enjoy your life without thinking about moving.

I hope you can enjoy your life for a little while. When I was a kid we moved all over the place and then when I graduated from college I lived a bunch of places, got married, and then corporate restructures and buyouts started along with a bunch of moves. Finally found a stable situation in the year 2000 and haven't moved since. I would rather take a beating than move again.

So this is what the town would look like. I took the tranzalpine train to Arthur Pass for a tourist trip. Greymouth was the end of the line.

Moving all the time can be such a pain. Here's hoping you settle for a while or more.

You have used up all your 'moves' and trust you can settle down.
I visited you via Skywatch Friday. My entry is #8+9

I can completely relate to the whirlwind of constant moving.
I hope you find stability and a place to call home in Greymouth.

Best wishes for a peaceful and settled future, Amy!

I get such reminders and flashbacks from FB as well, and also from looking back on my blog. I'd recently moved when I started blogging though and have not had to move again since.

That's a lot of change Amy -- I've always admired how you seem to roll with the punches and still seem to smile and appreciate the interesting things you see no matter what all is going on.

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 .

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 ...
