1st day of June


Seems Winter has hit early here. For the last few weeks it's gotten pretty cold - we're down to about 3 or 4 deg celsius at night, I caved 2 nights ago and put the electric blanket on the bed. It's the 1st day of June today for us kiwis so now it's time for sweaters, jeans and boots to come out of storage.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

A different beach today! Still beautiful.
Sounds very cold for the Bay. Nice to snuggle up with an electric blanket

Winter is here and a storm is coming from the north. I don't know if it will make it as far south as Tauranga.

We're having sunny days here in Alberta, Canada, but the last few nights have been cool. Not electric-blanket cool, though!
Keep warm!

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 ...
