Eating

 


One from Auckland International Airport. This is only one small part of the whole area, a cafe named the Gypsy Moth. It is the busiest Airport in New Zealand but not the only one. The smaller regions have airports that are domestic whereas Auckland, Rotorua, Queenstown, Wellington and Christchurch are international.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

It's probably nicer than LAX.

The Auckland domestic terminal is a bit soulless but then most airports are I guess when I think about it.

It's probably not as chaotic as the bigger international ones can be.

It's interesting to note how regional hubs like Rotorua and Queenstown also connect internationally despite their smaller size

I can't speak to that, as the only time I've flown was in a glider that didn't have to take off or land at an airport.

To be honest my stomach already cramps. At airport Frankfurt I always get lost. And I hate the looooong procedure. I am small and give Ingo all the space I can on the planes but ACK!!!! Come January.... all this again. From frickin' cold to screaming hot (yippee to the last).
You´d laugh about airport Braunschweig (but we have one! Goes international...)

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 .

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 ...
