Nosey gossiping sheep...


Sheep are such inquisitive creatures, however the minute you try to get close they run away. On one of our visits near McLaren Falls over Spring we were trying to find a road where a dam was, we weren't successful as the entrance was closed off but these sheep were quite happy to stop their ritual munching and watch is intently.

One can always count on livestock like this to be curious about a passer-by.

Gosh now beautifully lush and green Amy! The sheep are so funny the way they look up and stare, as if to say how dare you 😀😀

You are passing through their domain and they want to make sure you keep on going. Even the little one in the background is watching. :)

The grass is so green. The sheep don't look so pleased at your interruption of their juicy meal.

Um, I think they're just sizing up the situation and deciding if they should run. Now cows, they're inquisitive! They'll come right up and check you out (until you get within arms reach or so).

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 ...
