Yuletide


I spotted this sign in the local "Robert Harris" cafe advertising a "Christmas Milkshake". I'm wondering what's in it, seems to be maybe something for the younger ones.

Well this week I'm working 6 days so by boxing day I think a much needed rest will be in order. I'm looking forward to starting my new job. There will be lots of new things to learn but I think I will be ok. I'm done with the work drama. 

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

We don't get Boxing Day here to celebrate. A lot of folks use a paid leave day for a longer holiday.

Amy, that is a wonderful reflection in the window. I might try a Christmas milkshake just for the experience. Perhaps it is peppermint flavored?

...I would expect a Christmas milkshake to be red and mint flavored.

Christmas flavoured shakes here (in the uk) seem to have gone 'American' with pumpkin and cinnamon spice flavours. Popular with the younger consumers but I find too sweet and synthetic.

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 ...
