Village Colour

 The Tauranga Historic Village is a vibrant place to visit. Great food, speciality shops and don't forget to see Tony at the record shop for pre loved and new vinyl, CD's and other cool stuff.

Autumn

 The escape. 

Latest puzzle.

Downtown Tauranga

Downtown is coming back. Seen in the early morning light.

Tauranga Library and Community Hub.

Building underway. A great sight after years of stagnation.

The Strand and another new build.

Nice little feature.

 

The Lads

Jay and Lewis (The crazy guy😄)

Next day Jay has new hair.

Time for  Guinness with Nana and Pop. They had something lighter..

 

Nightlights down on the Strand. That puddle looks ominous!

At The Mount

Stormy evening. North rock.

Pilot Bay, little boats.

Across the harbour at sunset.

Matua mudflats

Seals are regular visitors to the Mount entrance over the past few years. This one on a large tree trunk.

The view from the Mount farm. My exercise place. Don't tell anyone. I can be totally alone even on the busiest days.

 

What's Happening?

From YouTube last night. This amazing picture of a computer in the 1950's being off loaded. Made by Elliott. Not exactly compact.

My latest puzzle. NY in the 1950's. Central Park no doubt.

Out and About in Nelson NZ

 I love Nelson. Especially looking in the not so usual places or times of day.

Titles not needed.

School Hols

Holidays are fun with the lads.

Our artist, Lewis

He's just a little guy

Jay and I did the Mount. He is in his new football jersey here.

A place to visit for great food. Market and Main at Tauranga's Historic Village. I had the New York sandwich. So tasty.

Lewis had their home made pie. Even the shark was after it.

Jay had the fruit salad in a glass. Nailed it.

Lots of time practicing their footy kicks.

After all our rain, McLaren falls was going off. We went there for a good look around.

Getting ready for a football match at Papamoa.

Gulls. They bomb our house and it gets my blood running hot. But they are amazing creatures.
