Life size terracotta men

These chirpy chappies reside in the beautiful Rathmoy Gardens not far from where I live in the Rangitikei district, North Island, NZ. This wonderful garden is open to the public annually .....for further pics & info. Please see a blog I recently did on Rathmoy.

Weeeed! (was it a dandelion or a sunflower) that sprung up between them? Yes I used to watch Bill and Ben on Grandmothers t.v. as we didn't have a telly until I was 9.

Maybe they were about to make themselves a brew of Dandelion tea? I think it would have been a sunflower, as the garden was very well kept.

A bit different Dwylis to what the children watch today.

That's for sure, Lindak. I am horrified by what my eight year old grandson Arapata is allowed to watch here in NZ. His mother allowed him to watch Alien when he was five! He's the son of my youngest son, but the little boy lives with his mum only. My American daughter-in-law, on the other hand, is very strict about what her children are allowed to watch .....Dora The Explorer is their favourite .....I got to watch that, & Care Bears a lot when we stayed with them in Michigan a few weeks ago.

Young minds are very precious and should be nutured in the right way. Too much horror and blood on the films these days. We don't watch films that are too violent. We don't watch many of the soaps either. Perhaps we are in the minority........ I really don't know.
