Starting life as a steam-driven flour mill in 1867, the Crown Roller Mills continued expanding floors until 1890 when it reached 5 floors. It has since been lovingly transformed into Luxury apartments and a Restaurant, Bar& Function Centre.
Right opposite of where we picked up our new car, Sadie (not the cleaning lady). Its like driving a computer robot! But I can’t work out how to play a CD!
Three good things;
1. I had a bone scan for density today and am the same height as I was 4 years ago! Means my backbone hasn’t deteriorated. Results after a while. Shoulders back, head up!
2. The most delicious riesling from Cromwell, Central Otago for lunch.
3. Hot temperatures on the East Coast of NZ in the south - up to 29deg -84 degF - in the middle of May!
Beautiful building - lovely processing!! Good news re the bone scan. I had one years ago when I was at work - I think they came to the Bank and did lots of people. Anyway the woman said to me it was unlikely I would have problems as big people normally had big healthy bones!! Flipping cheek!! I hoped she was referring to my height of 5'9" and not my weight!! LOL!!
So glad to hear it has been reinvented and put to such good use that so many can enjoy it! Lovely architecture. Your new auto sounds fun...does it drive itself? Not sure I would like that!
Beautiful shot with great lighting. So good when these interesting buildings are preserved and used. Great news about your scan you must be pleased. We had a hire car not long ago, ours was in for repair to the damage caused by a dustbin lorry backing into it! The hire car was amazing more like a flight deck than a car. I couldn't even find the CD player let alone work it and you don't get a handbook with a hire car
Wow, this is really beautiful. Fav. We are experiencing Summer weather at the moment with 28c temperature and hot sunshine. It should cool down by Sunday.
Very hot .....we never have it that hot even in high summer! You got your car......it takes ages to get used to all the gadgetry I know but in the mean time has it parked itself? As for the Landrover sport launch it sounds great, the sort of thing that Harry would like. William has bought a silver Defender, we wanted a black one but they are so strict on emissions on vehicles entering the country. He is now having the silver one which is newer with six gears but not as high a speck. Stil cheaper to import than buy over at your end.
I love the light, the intense colours, and the processing here, fav. This was founded in the same year as Canada was; our Confederation took place in 1867.
great shot with those autumn leaves glowing from the bright sunlight. they made a lovely contrast to the taught lines of that beautiful building. most excellent shot, maggiemae.
