Another hot day here today, so it seemed appropriate to post a picture up of one of my sunflowers with a bee visiting. I’ve also recently installed a bird bath with a stone in it to make it more accessible – and it turns out the local bees are making…

Continue reading →: Smith Street Community Gardens
I’ve only just recently discovered the amazing community garden on Smith Street in Woolston. It’s huge and I can tell there are a lot of people putting in many hours there. I only became aware of the garden after the wonderful artworks went onto the fence beside the garden (the…

Other than getting to one of the comedy nights (see Urzila Carson if you get the chance – she’s one very funny lady), I’ve missed most of the buskers festival (as days of it were rained out). I’ve always loved the festival, but have to say that since it’s been…
