Last of the Summer rays




Yesterday we had an agent showing people through our house so I took my daughter out for an appointment anyway, while we were out we stopped off at the local surf beach to catch the last of the Summer rays before we move, looks like other people had the same idea as us, was a perfect day for it.

It seems your summer flew by fast. The beach looks peaceful with no crowds.

Summer is pretty much finished here, it's still a bit warm but the temperature has dropped, we've had bits and pieces of rain, nothing major but something is better than nothing.

Just read your reply on Phonex Daly Photo about android phones. You can do the same, you just need to experiment. kneel down with your phone and look up. The model ship I showed is of a real one which is still in service with the Philippine Navy

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 ...
