Journey to the other side of town

Ah, summer. A time when every middle-aged man's thoughts turn to that three-letter word we all think about several times a day but rarely do anything about until the weekend... DIY. Well, today while shacho and giri-no-shacho were having an aesthetic massage (not quite sure if I should be worried), I ventured out into the heat of the afternoon for a mission to the DIY Mecca known as Unidy (written how an American would pronounce "unity") with Emma and Katherine. Here is a photo diary of our trip:

At ease, Corporal Katherine

Capt. Sherriff and Rear Gunner Emma

Scaring crows the Japanese way

Little troopers take on supplies 

No time to enjoy the view, we've got a paddling pool to buy!

Destination Unidy lies beyond the rice paddy and behind the council flats

"I always wanted to work in advertising, but..."

Stone cladding, Japanese style


Perfect refueling spot for the last leg of the return journey

You are a very strange man, I think you should be struck off. It doesn't look anything like stone cladding.
