We were in a nearby town of Reefton today, it normally takes about an hour to drive there. The specific purpose of this visit was for me to see if the local trader’s had an old vintage or retro lampshade for my lampstand in my lounge. As it turned out, they were closed so that was a bit of a wasted trip but I did see these lovely old cars.
So warm and sunny today. We are slowly going into Summer temperatures – hopefully by December it will be even hotter. As for our general elections….what a fiasco. It turned out that we seem to have a somewhat hung parliament meaning that neither Labour or National have won, they seem have similar results and the one party that’s in between both of them will have to make a decision as to who they will go with depending on the overseas and special votes that are still being counted. I wish it was over and done with….
Linking up with Mosaic Monday, Tuesday Treasures and Happy Tuesdays.
In Canada we call these minority governments. In our history, they could be quite effective as all parties had to work together but more recently, no so much. Sigh.
Yes they are called minor parties here, the last government consisted of 1 major and 2 minor, together they were a 3 ringed circus, this time because more people’s votes were spread across a wide range it looks possibly like it’s going to be 1 major and 3 smaller ones. sigh.

Old cars – classic ones – are beautiful. Sorry about the closed shop, its frustrating when a trip is wasted. Almost 🙂
That first classic, in particular, is well worth the trip.
In our country, we have a minority government that must make a decision this week in order to continue governing. If it fails to do so, the government will collapse, and—in a worst-case scenario—we will have to head back to the polls.
Wishing you a good week.
The old cars are lovely. I love the way you follow these vintage autos.
I love seeing the old cars…Vintage weekend in Whanganui has been a highlight of all our visits!
Frustrating having to wait…but so like 2017…when Jacinda succeeded….
Cool old cars, but too bad about not getting done what you had planned. Sorry you’re still waiting for the election to be decided. Best of luck to you.
Ik kan hetzelfde verhaal vertellen als Jan over onze minderheidsregering, ze maken er een rommetje van.
Prachtige oude auto’s.
