Window dressing

A new coffee bar opened up in one of the historic buildings of Oamaru and we checked it out. Nicely furnished with a lot of art about and the coffee was good.

Three good things:
1. The chairs were cold and slippery but the huge area with such high ceilings was warmed nicely.
2. John had a check-up with his hearing aids and I think he hears a bit better! I don't have to repeat everything.
3. A good book about boating in the canals of England.

@tonydebont Yes it really was, Tony! Later that day there was an art display in the back part of this huge building!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's very pretty but I think it needs a Maggiemae original on the wall somewhere.

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann Thats very flattering thank you Ann! There is a very talented photographer here and her artwork is on the wall of the cafe somewhere but I didn't see it!
