Devonport Whimsy
Just along the road from my mother's apartment is this adorably whimsical old house - I can just see the cupola peeking over the trees from my bedroom window.
So much New Zealand in this picture, from the clothesline in the back, to the grass growing through the driveway, the weatherboards, the stained glass decorative windows and the curved corrugated iron verandah roof.
The interior brick chimneys date the house very firmly to pre-napier earthquake - nobody in their right mind would have a chimney inside their house after that one!
