A window with a view

On Friday afternoon my GKB and I decided it was

 time for a trip down the harbour and a visit to his sister.

We arrived in time for afternoon tea - good timing.

looking up the harbour towards Dunedin

I took the camera because I wanted to get some shots from her kitchen window.

The house overlooks a small inlet in the harbour near Port Chalmers.

Looking across to Roseneath

And even though it was cold I wasn't allowed to take them from the window. 

The reason? It overlooks my SIL's back yard and her washing was out on the line!

Sawyers Bay and around to the right to Port Chalmers

So while the others sat inside drinking hot tea and coffee 

I went outside and took the shots above

with the clothes line at my back and their bounteous garden in front.

In another city you would pay a lot of money

 for the views they have of the harbour.

Not the cup we had at my SIL's but one we had while out and about one day.

I thought it was quite elegant for a tea rooms but maybe it was because 

the tea room was attached to a garden centre.

roses of inspiration

That's it for this week.
Short and sweet. 
Keep well until next time.
