Winter morning skies in Tauranga City






This morning after a very encouraging meeting I was walking back to my car and spied the sun coming through the late Autumn/early Winter leaves on this tree near the edge of one of the parks. Sorry for the quality of the photos as they were taken on my cellphone.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones.

A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
