Nice that the quality cabinetry got a new lease on life.
2 years agoGrouse butts to conceal the guns as the birds are driven towards them.
2 years agoIt’s really remarkable. The hues are so appealing too. We were chatting with a couple along the way who said you can see this stone in older buildings throughout the town, where it was scavenged from the ruins as a building material.
2 years agoGreat texture on the eroded stone!
2 years agoDefinitely. That was item number one as soon as we checked in to our room. I’d have photographed the pint of bitter if they’d served it up in a glass that wasn’t so worn that you couldn’t read the label. I’ll have to start asking to see the glass before they fill it.
2 years agoWell of course I’ve heard of the Commonwealth Games, Kathleen! Never said I hadn’t. I posed the question just in case some readers out there weren’t aware of them. It was the relay that was news to me. Nothing that happens up in Canada ever makes news south of the border unless it’s a sex scandal.
2 years agoI wondered if you might have stayed here when I heard you walked across. It does look like it would be a wonderful place to come to at the end of a long slog.
2 years agoI’m convinced. Looks pretty fearsome alright. You could use it like barbed wire.
2 years agoIt never occurred to me that someone would not have heard of the Commonwealth Games! How idiotic of me. If you aren’t a Commonwealth country, why would you? Victoria hosted them in 1994 and we went to many events. One was the cycling road race which included an up and over Mt. Tolmie with a sharp turn on the descent. It was an alarming place to watch - not all the cyclists had Tour de France level descending skills!

2 years agoVery nice shot of a little brown bird... :-)
2 years agoYes!
2 years agoIt sounds like the summer heat is taking its toll. Did you manage to have a pint to cool down?
2 years agoLove it! Ate here, stayed here and loved the large fire on a cold, windy May day. We must return...thanks for the memories!

I reckon US$ notes are far worse, the same colour and size for each denomination. I don't think any other country does this.
