Cosy coffee stop on our homeward journey yesterday from Palmerston, East Otago. Stanleys Hotel, Macraes. New Zealand. “Since 1882”. The warmth of the fire much appreciated on what was a grey, cold, rainy day.
This is a remote old gold mining area, now a major modern gold mining area.
Thanks to Nigel for taking these pics at my request. I wasn’t in a photo-taking mood yesterday. Occasionally I have days like that! Saturday 29 May, homeward journey from Palmerston, East Otago.

The hotel has a motto “While I live I crow”.
And I say YEAH! 😀
The fine company I keep …
