Clevedon


may 2012


Clevedon is located on the Wairoa River five kilometres from its estuary and outflow into the Tamaki Strait, an arm of the Hauraki Gulf. It is 14 kilometres from the centre of the suburb of Manukau, which lies to the northwest. To the south of Clevedon rise the rugged hills of the Hunua Ranges. Several popular beaches are located on the coast close to Clevedon, including Duder's Beach and Kawakawa Bay. Between these two beaches lies the Duder Regional Park.
Clevedon was named for Clevedon, England, in 1866. It was previously known as Te Wairoa (Māori: 'the Long River'). - wikipedia ;p

Since September the 1st which was last Thursday, the long long Winter is over and Spring has begun! I finally said my greetings to Spring today as I headed out to a coffee shop and saw the bright bright juicy pink flowers covered the skinny stems of the trees.

Hello Spring!!!! I missed you so bad!

coffee and guache

Murrays Bay to Mairangi Bay

Walking along the shore..

Me, Mt Roskill and Cosset :D

Mount Roskill is my favourite town in Auckland.

This colourful small town is full of life, energy and spirit. 

About one year after the first time I saw this signage and said to myself 'I should check that place out',I finally found myself inside the cafe Cosset!

The winner's drawing framed(?) on the wall - so cute :)

Would you like a cuppa tea or coffe? :D
