Plane

 


This has got to be the only McDonalds I've ever seen that has a decommissioned DC3 plane as part of their store and playground. Seen in Taupo 3 years ago.

It is cool, but I don't think I would want to park my car underneath it! It just wouldn't feel right :)

This gives me a "headache".... though, if kids can play in it ... thumbs up. I cannot decide.

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.

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 .

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