Keripies

 


One from our most recent lockdown. I decided one day I'd had enough of being inside and that I desperately needed some fresh air so I had a brief walk around town. Only shops that are classed as essential are usually allowed to stay open such as dairies, supermarkets, petrol stations, chemists etc. 

This one was taken outside a dairy with signs advertising "fresh milk" and "Keripies". A dairy for us kiwis is like a 7/11 or a corner shop and pies are a big thing here because the bakers can put so many fillings inside, my favourites are mussel or seafood pies.

This is for Tom's post for things beginning with "K" and Weekend Reflections.

$2 shop lockdown


Another photo I've found from our 2020 lockdown, hardly anyone around the streets, the odd car here and there but deathly quiet.

Ferment coffee


Over lockdown last year we were allowed to go out for walks around our local neighbourhoods. Some businesses were able to operate using click and collect (order online or phone then pick up). This one caught my eye selling coffee, I thought it was unusual but clever as they are a wine and beer shop but at least they thought of a way through the tough time.
