Evening

 

Photo taken outside my work around 8pm so not many people around

So at last we are having warmer weather, just slightly. The weekend came and went very quickly, we ended up with sun and spent the day outside in the vege garden, doing more work to the chicken coops and enjoying drinks on the deck. My son and his family live in Auckland and according to him they have had 35 degree temperatures. Ours is on average 15 degrees during the day -_-

But...we have come to a definite decision. We have decided that within the next 3-4 years we will be moving back to the North Island mostly because both B and I have family up there and being in the South Island is just too far away especially when my only grandchild lives in Auckland which is like 2 planes trips away. We aren't exactly sure where to look as it depends on what we sell this property for once the renovations are complete and what we can buy with it but we are hoping to be mortgage free. So far we are eyeing up towns such as Whanganui, Tokoroa or maybe Katikati but not 100% sure.

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 ...
