Christmas displays

So with tomorrow being Christmas Day for us I will probably be relaxing and having a quiet day at home so I thought I'd share some photos I've taken over the last week or so in various shops around town. Enjoy and Merry Christmas to you!

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.

A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
