Pink


So last week I decided to move myself off the couch on my day off and get back into walking around my usual route. On the first street a Rhododendron tree was in full flower and funnily enough the lady walking in front of me was wearing pink, I thought the colours went together quite well.

In lockdown getting out becomes more of a hassle. You have more time but somehow have less time. #Thrumylens

how lovely o see the Rhododendron tree blooming. Up north we are at the end of fall and soon everything will be grey and dull. I already long for spring. :)

Love the Rhododendron. Today I thought I saw a pohutukawa coming into bloom. Surely I was mistaken. Isn't it too early for them?

My wife loves Rhododendrons. Good that you are going for walks again but it hard to stay motivated.

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 ...
