Paddling feet in the tide




You know those moments when it's so stinking hot and all you want to do is cool down? We've had many of those lately, Summer has stretched on and on. On Sunday morning it was so nice to just paddle my feet in the incoming tide, at first it was cold but then after a few minutes so refreshing.

More Wednesday around the Worlds here along with Wordless Wednesdays and Wednesday Waters :-)

Hi Amy i wonder what is your summer temperatures that makes it so hot. If i tell you our coldest temps during our coldest months of the year in Dec-Jan is 24-26°C, the rest is always above 30°C! About hoyas i wish you can still get a few plants, you are near Australia where they have very good collections.

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. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
