The view from my "office"

[VPS]

Drive back to CC via the Inland Rd. Rodin cars have their own testing ground here, not sure if they are built there as well, then some quintessential NZ views. Then at the airport, not something you see everyday getting fuel!
The second shot, the white dots are sheep.

When a friend and I were driving around NZ we said the sheep looked like maggots in the distance. I notice you found a cat to photograph - I won't tell Max

Looks like a Hagglund. There used to be one in Falls Creek, for off piste rescues. Fun machines and virtually unstoppable. The rear tracks are also powered.

Yes it is, missed one photo!

Yes - so would you agree that these plants are Broom?

Yes, the plants in @Cossie’s first picture I am sure are broom. Slender stems and clear yellow flowers.

My “office” for the last two days and nights. Portmeirion, Wales. It is a quirky place full of history and fun. Clough joined all the quirky buildings together by painting them in various colours as seen in Portofinos, Italy. Evidently photo shoots are done here but look like Portofinos in the advertisements.

This facade and pillars was rescued from a 16th century bathhouse in Bristol.



The white edifice in front of the dome was the fireplace from an historic building. They are HUGE!








This is the view from my room. There was actually a photo shot going on. For high end coats, I think. From my bow window, I could sit and look left at the estuary.

Tonight’s “office”: the Great Northern Hotel opposite St Pancras Station. We take the Eurostar to Paris tomorrow morning, then another train to Clermont-Ferrand.

Was that the QF side or other pier?

Came thru last Sunday morning on QF and similarly a zoo but they had several banks of kiosks running but still overwhelmed.

I made a beeline to DF collection and then direct to a kiosk at the smart gates (took about 5 mins including DF collection). Bags on belt as I got there and out!

What “improvements coming soon”? Ditching the ticket and doing that online would’ve a sensible start….

 

[Cossie]

Not sure which pier, we were offloaded onto a bus, such a difference to last Saturday in Christchurch.
We were first off, hand luggage only, first through the gates as well as bags x-rayed.

Sydney airport now still, disgraceful. 10 machines, 4 broken……

I corrected your typo for you

That's the most amazing place. You have a bit of blue sky there. My friends live about 15 minutes away and these photos are from the Mt Snowdon Facebook page a couple of days ago so I know it was a bit cloudy when you were up there but at least you didn't get the hail
