Coffee

 


A couple of weeks ago while my daughter R took her dog Bug to the local dog park for a play I ventured up to one of the local beaches in Cobden for a walk in the fresh ocean air.  Near the rocks was a coffee cart with some cars, kayaks and surf boards.


And further back in one section of the car park were a bunch of campers. Greymouth is a small town that is a throroughfare for people travelling to the alps, Arthurs Pass and Christchurch so there is some great scenery to be seen.

And this is the beach on a quiet Autumn day.

A walk along Cobden beach with its fresh ocean air, nearby coffee cart, and cluster of campers offered a refreshing glimpse of Greymouth's charm as a scenic stopover en route to the Alps.

Lovely :-D I miss coffee so much. I gave it up in March 2024 because it was too acidic. Coffee was my thing!

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 ...
