Flags

 


It's been a busy week for me. I've taken on extra shifts at work and it feels like Spring is in the air here. This photo was taken last time we were in Hokitika a few months ago. The flag on the left is the New Zealand one and the one on the right is about ANZAC Day which is normally in April each year so maybe it was accidentally left up.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

It always looks so quiet. Sometimes I wish it was also here.

Nice to see the NZ flag flying. I've seen it quite a few times with the Olympics too

We used to have a few flags but they were for sports.

1995 we rolled into Carnarvon, Western-Australia. It was ANZAC-day (we had no idea, that was pre-internet), all shops were closed and the whole town was IN the parade. Thank you for the memory!! The parade was ... wow. Few tourists and some elderlies were cheering the parade.

Lovely photo, Amy.
Hokitika looks charming.
I hope you're finding some time to enjoy the spring weather despite your busy schedule.

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 .
