Election 2014: Three-time winner, but John Key still has to wait

John Key may be a three-time winner but he still has to wait like the rest of us to get his coffee.

The Prime Minister and his wife, Bronagh, took a walk this morning to a cafe near their home in Parnell, Auckland.

The cafe, Rosehip, was packed and the Keys had to wait before they could get a table. Mr Key, dressed in a pink polo shirt, jeans and a pair of trainers, used the time to read the Herald on Sunday (the front page headline may have caught his eye).

Mrs Key was similarly casually dressed, wearing a dark top with a bright floral pattern, black cardigan jeans and trainers, and chatted with staff at the Rosehip while sitting on the cafe's stylish wicker stools.

It wasn't too long before the couple got a table and were able to relax with their coffees. It was quiet moment for them both, and one they'll surely miss when Mr Key's hectic schedule catches up with them.
