Lunch

 



Last week we went out for a meal at one of the local restaurants "Speights Ale House". We've been there once before about 2 years ago, it's not often we get out as we all have conflicting days off. My choice, above was Tempura Prawns with sweet chilli sauce, one of my favourites.


 

We also ordered pull apart bread for us to share, this was covered with oliv oil and herbs - so yummy. The meal in the photo on the right was on the specials board - it was so tempting.

It sounds like a rare and well-earned outing made even better by delicious food and good company—those tempura prawns and herbed pull-apart bread look especially irresistible

Tempura prawns and pull apart bread!! Food of my dreams. Even if I no longer eat bread and that chilli sauce is out and the prawns have batter. Sigh. At least there's no temptation here because there's nothing like that available

I haven't been there for a meal but for a gathering after a funeral. Snacks and drinks. A nice restaurant.

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 ...
