This area of the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island clearly has a sense of humour. A little further in our travels I spy a rural letterbox that has me excitedly babbling in Himself’s ear that we need to turn around please so I can get a photograph.
Brilliant husband that he is, he obliged with just just a raised eyebrow, wondering what on earth it was this time that has us screaming to a halt.
Since he has his eyes on the road an not on quirky bits parked to the sides of it, he usually hasn’t spotted the things I do, so sometimes it’s a nice surprise for him to see what weird thing we’ve turned back for (yet again).
Usually he and the kids appreciate the humour in my “finds” although I have been guilty of getting everyone to stop on occasion for stuff that looked interesting when we raced past but wasn’t when we turned around and took a closer look.
This little beauty is defiantly worth the U-turn and if this postbox doesn’t make the local Postie smile I don’t know what would.
Art, Creativity and Humour melded firmly with Practicability… Perfect!!! This is the kind of thing the world needs a lot more of.





I’m glad your husband is obliging. I wouldn’t have liked you to miss this one

Tilly,
He’s willing to stop for funny letterboxes (unless traffic is too busy) and for murals, quirky statues and even lets me photograph his food before he eats it. That make him a definite keeper

Carrie,
Brother = Yes, Single = No.
BUT I amd SURE there must be more fella’s out there who love a woman who can cook, take food photos and loves travel and quirky things to visit (You and I both fit the bill on that one!)
