It’s a crush some days – but makes it all the more of a challenge to snaffle up those bargains. Love the gerberas! Lastly, here are my purchases from the…

Continue reading →: Bookarama Book SaleI went along to the Bookarama book sale at Addington Raceway today and came home with quite a few books! It’s on again tomorrow if you are in need of some books. Something there or everyone.

Continue reading →: Daffodil WoodlandThe Daffodil Woodland in Hagley Park is a very special place – thousands of daffodils bloom amongst the trees and the long grass. Families come ever year and plonk their toddlers beside the daffodils for the compulsory photo. – I even heard one mum bribing her wee tots with the…

Continue reading →: A very special Blossom TreeI went to the Botanic Gardens late this afternoon with the intention of photographing daffodils. But as is often the case with me, I got distracted by so many other wonderful things. In particular, I became a little obsessed with photographing this tree in the gardens. I drew me in…

Those road engineers sure know how to seamlessly integrate a new road into an old one. Eventually the road will go all…

Continue reading →: Butterfly Fence, Ferry RoadButterfly stencils are being painted on this Ferry Road fence to try and stop it being tagged. There is far too much tagging going on around the city at the moment (and I don’t mean graffiti art). I spoke to the artist (who owns the fence) and she actually had…

Continue reading →: Loco the Upshot Coffee DogI’m often walking past the Upshot Coffee cafe on Bridle Path Road and one of several dogs are usually hanging out and keeping the clientèle company. I discovered this one is called Loco. He’s pretty cool and very relaxed as you can see. And not the least bit bothered by…
