This is a favourite place to enjoy coffee. It's our local Mitre 10 (hardware store) cafe which includes a garden centre to the right. They make good drinks and food.
After reading Graham's post this morning about politics, it's gotten me thinking about New Zealand's own political system. Why are so many people in power so interested in putting themselves ahead of their own country? Like my late grandmother use to say "it'll all be over for me in less than 100 years so I won't be here to see it".
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Funny I was just having coffee in that Franchise at Mitre 10 in Blenheim yesterday - good coffee, good food. Same in Ashburton.
It's nice to have a place to go to for a good cup of coffee.
...MANY politicians quickly forgot who puts them in office!
Your reflection over coffee captures it perfectly. Politics may change, but self-interest seems stubbornly timeless.
A nice place to meet and drink coffee outside. I haven't seen any before, are they popular in the NZ's side walk?
Looks like a fine place to have coffee and then shop for plants.
Some politicians put themselves ahead of their own country and some even put citizens of other countries ahead of their country's own citizens. That's unacceptable and I hope it never happens again in my country.
You have made me think. The last time I was in the UK equivalent of Mitre 10 I think that the cafeteria had been done away with. I must check next time I'm in Glasgow.
Politicians live in their own money-world...
I love a quick stroll around a garden center to see if there's anything nice. A cup of coffee afterward always does the trick.
Smart Grandmother.
Mitre 10 has coffee and food! Great idea. With the garden centre attached everyone is happy
Politics has taken a turn for the worse these days.
yes Amy looks like a fine place to have coffee and to look around I hope you have a lovely week ahead
Mitre 10 in Whanganui has a good café too..and we went to the one in Blenheim too, one year. They are franchises run by locals, which makes them better than the UK equivalent, B&Q. Which don't have cafés.
