Sunday out

 Sunday was my friend's duty day at the Arts and Crafts group gallery in Paeroa...so a bright and early start to be there before 10am opening time.


Heading for Te Aroha, and the mountain Te Aroha...as we got nearer it was clearer than usual right along the KaiMai range..then just over 20km along to Paeroa.


As it was Sunday, most shops were shut, apart from the secondhand shops, a couple of op shops and the dairies.

It was an interesting wander, including an old theatre building now an emporium called Junk and Disorderly! I did see one pot which said Buy Me...but as it had no price, and its shelf mates were a little pricey...I resisted!!












As the temperature rise, after my lunch I sat in the gallery and sewed...


One corner started..

Then travel home later in the afternoon 



Hills to the side on the way back towards Te Aroha.

I didn’t realise you were hand sewing. Your very neat. Love all the pictures. I feel as though I’m traveling with you

...Paeroa has an interesting mix of architectural styles.

Looks like an interesting town to wander around. "Junk and Disorderly" -- LOL!

Your photos show a beautiful countryside and mountain views. Does the gallery specialize in a particular art form? Does it show works from multiple artists?

A nice town to explore.
