patea, nz
Once the Patea Freezing Co-Op was South Taranaki's primary employer. It closed in 1982. In the 1920's, Patea was the largest cheese exporting port in the world. The Grader Cool Store received cheese for grading from all over South Taranaki and as far south as Oroua Downs near Himatangi. After grading it was loaded into coastal ships at the grader wharf for transport to Wellington where it was transhipped into overseas ships for export. The port closed in July 1959.

This wall has faint remains of rail tracks used to load boats.

jasmine
Hubby bought two jasmine plants for me not long after I got here. They have moved with us and hung in there pretty well but I think they finally found a place they really like.
I finally found the right amount of light and shade for them and they have bloomed so well this summer! They smell great, too!
*edit* For those who asked, the 'right amount' of light is just a few hours of morning sun and complete shade the rest of the day!
