A nice quiet afternoon at the beach


Day 1 of my 2 days off each week. Most Sundays we like to amble down to the beach for a few hours with our deckchairs, a good book and some cold wine and enjoy the sun, sea and sand...


Doesn't it look tempting?

I am soooo envious at this very moment when we have beautiful sun but freezing temperatures!

You look to be enjoying this long warm summer. Let's hope for another month of sunny days without cyclone effects.

It does indeed! And makes me envious that you can walk to it! Also that it is apparently a quiet beach -- we know where those are in Oregon -- but the ones near us here in FL are all so crowded. (And in neither place can we walk there.) (Jealousy aside, I am really very glad you shared this peaceful beauty.)

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 .

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. 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 ...
