This is just up the road from us. The Northern Club nearly new and before being cloaked in Boston Creeper.

While I'm beavering away, looking for images for a project -- I found this: a Daniel Louis Mundy photo from 1867-1869 showing Auckland Central, from the Albert Barracks ground. That's the Northern Club at the right, and you can see the steeple of the original St Pauls just to its left, at the end of Princes Street. This is before the Improvement Commissioners got stuck in with altering the barracks ground which became Albert Park, so in the foreground is Victoria Quadrant which became part of Kitchener Street. Bowen Avenue does not exist. At left, heading into the distance is Bank Street (now Bankside), facing Chancery Street, with Shortland Sreet further back.

I’m fudging it working at my desk. We had two great ladies from Southland Mini-ing to join the Pork Pie charity run. They gave me the best fudge I’ve ever munched, made with love in Te Anau where she’s from. We filmed a re-enactment of the “clumping down the stairs scene from the film. Will post that when we get it. All the best from Braemar

Our neighbourhood features on the video for Miller Yules latest song. Look for the yellow gingko leaves carpeting the grass in Emily Place Park under the sprawling pohutukawa tree limbs and Albert Park looks good too. A photogenic area. Bring your camera and stay

We are minding Judy's cocker spaniel Cooper at the moment and I see now how bigger dogs need way more room to run and be happy. Please support Steph's campaign and do bring your dogs to visit us here in town.
