Avon's Butchery and copycats

[vilakins]

When we went down to Vilagrad last weekend, the train passed Avon's Butchery in Glen Innes. I was too lazy to get the camera out to snap it on the way back so I went down this week and took a picture from the railway station car park. So while Vila has a winery, Avon has a butchery; seems appropriate. BTW the guy who runs it really is called Avon; it's his first name.

There is also a picture of the girls being copycats again in the exact same position, taken on the same day.


Avon's Butchery in Glen Innes. Note the ham. ;-)


Avon's shuttle (his van parked beside it). The number plate is MEAT4T - "meat for tea" which here is pretty much interchangeable with "meat for dinner".

Oh, yes, very appropriate. Your cats are darling--now part of my screensaver slide show.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

The term 'copycat' has to come from how cats copy or mirror each other.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

BTW have you seen my other pictures of them (http://pics.livejournal.com/vilakins/gallery/00003wka)? :-)

[ultrapsychobrat.livejournal.com]

These are great! Your Vic looks so much like my Emma.

Our thug in a tux who likes reading newspapers and doing the crossword! Here's a drawing I did of him.

*chokes* That's too beyond funny. Avon's butchery and Vila's wine garden! Oh, universe. ♥

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

We have actually bought meat and sausage there, and it was pretty good too. Avon (his first name) has awards for his sausage, she says innocently.

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

I think I would have to have some of Avon's sausages while drinking some of Vila's wine. Possibly while sitting in a dell somewhere. Ahahahahaha, oh too funny. :D

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I just hope there's no ground Blake in the sausages. BTW you do know about Blake's Lotaburger (http://www.lotaburger.com/), don't you?

[deltarrant.livejournal.com]

Ground up Blake in Avon's sausages? I don't think that's such a bad thing, really. I mean, recycling is good for the enviroment! XDXDXD

Blake's lotaburger, ahahahaha oh man.

(Ignore the RP journal!)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Well, there's a lotaBlake!

[deltarrant.livejournal.com]

It's so true. Poor Blake. Still, I bet it isn't half bad.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Eww. So not kosher.

[deltarrant.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaa. It's a good thing I'm not Jewish then, isn't it? :)

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

I used to work at Blake's Lotaburger. For ages, I kept worrying that I was going to answer the phone "Hello, Blake's 7" instead of "Hello, Blake's Lotaburger."

[babel.livejournal.com]

That is too hilarious for words.

Also, the kitties are cute. ♥

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Isn't it perfect? Avon has won prizes for his sausage, but the less said about ham the better.

I adore my little girls.

[arenee1999]

hahaha
Oh, that's just perfect!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Isn't it though! Sadly, Avon doesn't look that much like ours, unlike Jacob the winemaker who looks like a Restal.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Avon doesn't want me to make a joke about sausage, so I won't. :^)

[executrix.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more along the lines of an icon...

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

*giggle*

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Avon's prize-winning sausage! Or possibly his biltong.

[executrix.livejournal.com]

Avon's Sausage Works4T!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it does!

[hafren.livejournal.com]

I like Avon's butchery and Vila's winery. I suppose Cally's HR consultancy and the Travis Prosthetics Co are too much to hope for...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They are, but Tarrant runs a ballroom dancing school in Wellington. :-D

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Excellent! We have Gan Electricals here, presumably where he got his limiter.

[trixieleitz]

I have a photo of that around here somewhere....

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

That's very nasty, to use his own company to manufacture it!

I've met a couple of Gans here, both Chinese though.

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's perfect! *falls over laughing*

Reminds me of that time spacefall spotted that 25 litre barrel of Avon Lubricants...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Especially the ham and the prize-winning sausage!

I remember that well. :-) BTW Tarrant runs a ballroom dancing school in Wellington.

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Avon the businessman - butchery, cosmetics...:-)
The cats are Great!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

He even wore the cosmetics in season 4!

When I saw those cats like that, I had to get a picture.

[bramblyhedge.livejournal.com]

Avon and ham? Surely not. *cough* ;)

*pets the kitties* =^.^=

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Or the crispy bacon in the sandwich that Vila wouldn't eat in 'Killer'! ;-)

The cats are purring with pleasure.

[norda.livejournal.com]

Brilliant.

I think I've mentioned this to you before, but it bears repeating... over here in the US, we have an organic food store that sells Blake's Chicken Pot Pies.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

And you've got Blake's Lotaburger, in the New Mexico area at least. :-D

[jecono.livejournal.com]

Your cats are so adorable! :) And how curious that it's always Tessa on the right when it comes to copycatting!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

[looks at cat gallery] How odd. She's on the right a lot, but I wonder why. They can sit facing any way so it shouldn't be significant. Perhaps they lick each other a certain way and end up like that. [shrug] It's a mystery.

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

Avon's a butcher/ Who would have thought it!
Around here ther are several iron manhole covers that bear the legend "Ensor"!!
Blake has chocolate.
