Five on Friday




A busker at Viaduct Harbour on the
Auckland waterfront. 



I love these books - they take me on a journey
to places known and unknown.




A waterfront cafe, the perfect venue in summer
to watch the world go by.




My favourite Latte coffee with a heart for
Valentines



'Melt in the mouth' 
Sponge Kisses 
baked for the Mahjong girls!


It's Friday so I'm joining Amy for 

Thank you for popping in to say hello
wishing you a happy weekend!

Take care and
be kind to one another

à bientôt


Shane




Thank you Amy for hosting.

  1. Isn't this a lovely place? We discovered it when we returned home via Auckland last May. Perfect coffee for Valentine's Day, Shane. xox

  2. Dear Shane,

    Love all your wonderful five on Friday - isn't it wonderful walking around the Viaduct and always something interesting to see there. Also haven't we been lucky with the weather - today was glorious.
    As I am writing a mosquito is buzzing around my ear - they have been so bad over here this summer.
    Happy weekend
    Hugs
    Carolyn

  6. A beautiful waterfront scene. I would find it a peaceful place looking out over the water and listening to the cello music. Enjoy your reading and your time with the ladies. I'm sure they enjoy your homemade treats.

  14. Those little sponges look delicious. I think I would prefer the texture to a macron.
    You certainly have a better class of busker in your neck of the woods! Over here, at this time of year we get a lot of kids with guitars and the odd fiddler dressed as Darth Vader. What that has to do with fiddling I cannot say!
    The view of the harbour from the cafe - exquisite!

  15. I could while away an afternoon at a waterfront cafe, especially if I had a friend to chat with. Hopefully you've experience the one in your photo more than once Shane.
    Wish I could hear that busker...the sponge kisses look delicious.
    Happy Valentine's Day.

  21. What a great picture of the busker. It all looks so lovely and warm there. I know you say the same thing when our summer comes and you have winter. Hope you are having a lovely weekend,

  22. Your photo of the busker by the water could have been taken at the waterfront here during the summer. I enjoy walking and listening to the music and entertainment on an occasional evening. I'll take tea, but I'll also admire your beautiful cup of coffee! And I'll dream of faraway places like France with you.
