Tyres

 


B and I went for a sort of road trip over the weekend. We drove out to the Lower Buller Gorge from home, took us about an hour and a half. We stopped in Westport to top up his car tyre pressure, in the end it turns out a sensor is faulty and there was nothing wrong so he will have to get that looked at.

 


It was a cold Winter's day and sunny so we didn't stay outside the car for too long but it was good to get out.

Very rugged country. The river doesnt look too high and I love the bush clad hills. So different to where I live now :)

Caltex. That's a sign I haven't seen in many years. Isn't great to get away from home. Lovely scenery.

It's always refreshing to explore new places, even if it's just a drive away.
The views are breathtaking, Amy!

Have a great week ahead!

Oh, don´t you hate that?! My company car told me the same and I panicked. For nothing, pressure on the tyre was OK!
(That was years ago)
But nice to go on a raodtrip And nice to see CALTEX (we don´t have that here).

Did you get as far up the gorge as that swing bridge across the river to a peninsular where they tried to build a tunnel through to divert the river so they could fetch gold out of the dried up bed? (White Creek) That's a good day out too. I love the Buller Gorge and up at that swing bridge place they have clearly marked out where the land moved in the big Murchison earthquake 1929. It really is a scenic place isn't 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 ...

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 .
