Hey Jen....what was supposed to be a "bonfire" became quite a large burn....The Boy of mine thought he was doing us a favor...it is a miracle that the whole orchard didn't go up in flames. Teenagers + a jug of Diesel = a "bonfire" hehe
Hi, I'm Elle and I sent in the tower photo. The tower is a shot tower (a tower that they used to carry hot lead to the top to drop off into water in order to make round bullets or shot) that was built in 1890. When the developers wanted to build the mall there in the 1990s they weren't allowed to tear down this historical monument so instead they built a huge dome over the top of it (the tower is 9 storeys high, the dome 84metres) and encorporated it into the mall. It is really amazing. There is also a small museum about it down at the bottom. Elle

ReplyDeleteYeah, my son told me that the bonfire was by far the largest he'd ever seen! I'm glad your orchard didn't burn down!
ReplyDeleteWould love to know why that tower is in the middle of the mall?

Erika, I really have no idea, but it sure is cool-looking!
