Flags

 


One thing about Winter is that there are always a few people who like to still wear short sleeves like it's still warm.

Same here!!!! Also on icy-cold Spring days. Calendar says: It is Spring and off they go in short stuff - I still have my winter coat on (Gurri)

With us the winters are getting milder, then you can definitely go a bit longer with short sleeves and possibly shorts over the state.

Not here usually! What a treat to be able to wear short sleeves in winter though!

That happens here too. If could be in the 40's (F) and I'll still see some people with shorts and t-shirt on. And occasionally I'll see someone with a coat on when it's 110.

Hah, I wear appropriate clothing on the upper half of my body in the winter but I a wear shorts most of the time just because I'm most comfortable that way. Unless it is unduly windy or rainy.

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 ...
