Our "greenhouse"/ Ships/ etc.

The greenhouse connected to our house at one time was turned into a room; they call it a conservatory.   It has a wood floor, some cabinets, and a sink.  All the windows are single pane, and very loose fitting, so in the winter it is like stepping outside to go in there; but when the sun shines, the glass brings in the warmth of the sun, and it can be quite pleasant inside.  

    It's kind of like our "cultural hall," but since there's no basketball court, we got a ping pong table.
                                 It was a great room for activities during the warmer months.
                 The Elders enjoy it a lot on their P-day.  (They don't mind how cold it is in there)


                   Here is a picture of the ancient wooden warship "Victory" we saw in Portsmouth:

                            We were able to go inside, seeing everything from top to bottom,
                  being instructed about all the details by a navy guide in costume of the era.
                       You have to imagine what it looked like with all it's sails in place.

This one was a steam powered iron clad warship made in 1860.

  The middle of December I went to a local choir Christmas concert in the St. James church:

It was quite nice, and they invited the audience to sing-a-long with some of the carols.

They sing different words on some of the verses :)
