BmX


I don't remember taking this photo during our holiday in Taupo 2 years ago but I guess like most of mine they all come from me taking snaps of just about anything when I'm out and about.

BMX bikes seem to be more popular now than they were when my oldest had one about 15 years ago, including mountain bikes.

Linking up with Weekend reflections and the Weekend roundup.

Our two grandsons had BMXs, now moved onto motorbikes. Any sort of bike is very popular here, amongst all ages

Everything comes back! I think my Brother had a BMX-bike. He was shouting something to a friend hit a big stone and nearly bit off his tongue. 3 stitches were needed. Glad I had but a boring girl´s bike ;-)

My sons had BMXs. I think every kid in the neighbour had one!

Hugs and blessings, Amy!

BMX is a word that I never thought of, perhaps the next time around.

BMX was very popular at my school when I was 12 or 13. That was a very long time ago. I had a beach cruiser and a skateboard but not a BMX bike. Still, they bring back memories.

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 ...
