The Urban Beach

When you just can’t get out of town, there’s still somewhere you can go. In the Auckland CBD, here is where you can cool your feet and chill out for a while

How do I not know about this? Where is this lovely little oasis?

- Ha ha! I had not seen it before, either… it’s down at the waterfront, just on the other side of the foot bridge to cross the viaduct over to where the ‘tank farm’ is. Now called the Wynyard Quarter I believe. It’s taken a while, nearly ten years, but it’s getting rather nice over there… definitely time for a wander!

  - I shall have to take a peek! I’ve spent time down at the Tank Farm but I haven’t noticed this – I need to look harder, clearly :o) Thank you!

2017 – year 9 for Titirangi Storyteller

Yeah, yeah, I keep promising to be better, but it just doesn't happen... I seem to have been so busy with my ever expanding business, which is primarily managing other people's social media, I've truly neglected my own. And it's just easier to post on Facebook, though strangely, it's not as personal as posting here. I will endeavour to be better. And make the time to post here, cos I'm never going to just have the time. VMcP

Miscellania

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.

Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.

Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.
