Sunset

Photo of a part of Greymouth near the Grey River taken around 8pm at night so not many people around.

It's been a funny week so far. I've been rearranging my vegetable garden to get it ready for Autumn. One end of it has more soil than the other so I've had to dig parts of it up to even it all out. I've had an abundance of spring onions coming up due to scraps we've thrown into the compost along with some Broccoflower and Purple Cabbage. I like to pass things along to other people sometimes so I gave a bag of mixed veges to a Maori lady that comes into my work. Finances are tight for everyone so hopefully it made a difference to her.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons, Shadow Shot Sunday and Tom's signs.

What a beautiful and peaceful sunset you’ve captured! The quiet of Greymouth near the Grey River in the evening sounds so serene. Your vegetable garden rearranging sounds like a productive task, and how wonderful that your spring onions, Broccoflower, and Purple Cabbage are flourishing! I love that you shared your abundance with someone in need; that’s a really thoughtful and generous act. The way you’re connecting with your community and the land is truly inspiring.

Hi, wishing you a great Wednesday: I just shared a new post: https://www.melodyjacob.com/

...each evening the sun sets, but in winter our overcast skies hide the beauty.

Good on you for passing on your surplus. I'm sure it was appreciated. We sometimes get gifts like that and are very grateful. And we pass on our surplus too, lemons or fish usually

Hi Amy! New Zealand is preparing for autumn, Europe for spring... but my contribution to #Allseasons is the first part of a review of February / March 2024, which we spent partly in Singapore and Australia, partly in New Zealand and the USA. We loved it in New Zealand! Very nice of you to share parts of your harvest with the Maori lady!
All the best from Austria, Traude

That's lovely, to share the bounty. We had the seeds of tomatoes in the compost start popping up everywhere. It's pretty funny....(and annoying) #Allseasons

We've been maintaining a vegetable garden since the pandemic and my siblings and their families have benefited from my garden.

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 .
