On our way home from New Plymouth last Monday Jayne and I stopped at Hawera for coffee. Hawera is a small town of 1100 population. The town centra was actually larger than I expected and there were quite a few shops. Or so it seemed. There were plenty of cafés, some of which looked really inviting. But as far as we could see only one - a barn of a place - had a washroom. There were, however, lots of op shops (charity shops/goodwill stores) and we bought a few books between us. Jayne summarised Hawera rather aptly as lots of op shops but no plop stops.
However it did have one absolutely splendid piece of sculpture:
In Hawera? When did they put that there? Was it a millennium project? 50 questions. Mind you when I stop to think about it I realize I haven't been in Hawera for 20 years!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you blogging regularly again!! :)
Intriguing but looks kind of nightmare-ish to me...!
ReplyDeleteNot sure whether I like it or not but it is certainly clever and intriguing.
ReplyDeleteRight up my street, thanks.
