They are rather large. The big one is up and filled and planted. Rusting artistically on schedule. There's a mix of Mish faves in there: shrubby things and natives and grasses, around the crab apple tree. They'll probably be some culling later if they all grow and take off.
On the other side of the steps is the designer's mock up of a potential water feature: a smaller Corten box with two bowls and water falling from one into the other. First mock up today so that won't be what happens.
We have several bird baths around. It would be good to incorporate bird bathing into a water feature. Everyone needs a challenge. Blackbird enjoying the winter sun today.
Sue and Grace flew up from Blenheim for a couple of days, on a shocking day but they did the short flight in a calm window and only bounced in the last few minutes.
In the city we accidently caught the last day of the David Jones department store experiment. DJs had aimed for the 'most beautiful store in the world'. But it was an expensive store that didn't work on Wellington's golden mile ($5000 handbags and racks of XS clothing also mega bucks and not designed for our climate, who could have known that stock wouldn't sell well?) David Jones lasted about six years and this was their last day. A big empty store is a sad thing. Grace and Sue got some good quality gear.
