My perfect fit


It's been a very busy week for us. Spring is here so more people are getting out and about. The days are getting longer and the morning are getting lighter. And I managed to watch one of the Rugby World Cup games this morning. Roll on Summer!

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

In summer I tend to stay indoor until sunset. The intense sun does us no good.

We have seen some of the rugby..and go down to England to watch the World Masters track cycling championships this coming week, in their original home of Manchester. Not sure when they will be back there again.
Lovely to see your Spring coming in as our Autumn slips towards Winter.

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 .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

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 ...
