Pathway to heaven



Tauranga Bay - Pathway to heaven

Things I love about Summer:

  • Golden sand
  • Hot sun
  • Blue skies
  • Waves crashing on the shore
Things I don't like about Summer:

  • Humidity
  • Hot nights
  • No blankets
  • Sunburn

While we are looking forward to our holiday in Fiji we are starting to plan and save for a potential holiday in the Mediterranean for 2020 (Local Alien this may interest you). Places on our list are Greece, Yugoslavia, Italy and Venice. Time to save even more...

Linking up with Our World Tuesday.

As I wonder whether I'm going to get to my appointment tomorrow as the temperature plummets into the minuses I am suddenly reminded about those hot, humid Northland nights and am content that tonight I will sleep soundly in crisp sheet under warm blankets!

You are going to love Greece, I lived there for 20 years and really enjoyed it. My only suggestion if you go is not to go during the hot summer months, which are June, July and August.

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 ...
