Daisies everywhere!


After being sick on and off for the last couple of weeks I finally got out yesterday and enjoyed a long beach walk. Lots of sun and warmth and when I sat on the sand above the beach in amongst the grasses I was surrounded by these lovely orange Gazanias and Freesias. Just lovely!

A beautiful photo that makes me smile. Also, thanks for your comment on my blog. Regarding your question on "anchors" in the desert... sorry, I wasn't very clear. I was referring to anchors cemented into the rock. The kind that would anchor a steel cable (used in construction).

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 .

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