Rainy day Killara walk - cubes, hedges and old Engand cottages : February 8 2026
A wet day to end the weekend. Finished off my blog review post and headed out after lunch time for an umbrella walk. Thinking to walk two stations down, do the shopping there and train back. OR catch a train at the stations I pass and go where the trains go.
Always looking for a theme - this sculptured tree on the verge sets an idea - cubes
Well the man likes the edges - cubes and hedges it is
Cubed over the fence
Had not cubed the bush in the pond. Cubes fit the traditional English style house
One more cube and edged hedges in the same garden. The man is not Touluse Lautrec
Next house down does have hedge edges and a fab crepe myrtle for colour. Pleased I had the umbrella - started to rain here
Missed that cube at Killara Station. Good to see trains running Sunday
Add raindrop flowers to the day story - oleander
Golden delicious
Pansy face lily goes gossamer when it is wet
A different raindrop lily
More hedged edges
Side on view of one of the old houses - chapped a few trees down so we can see how it looks.
Walked this street a few times and not noticed the building - Dalcross Hospital - the flags had me looking
Fire wheel flower - good to get some flowers close to head height. The others near us are much higher up - needs zoom
Back to hedges and edges on a cross street I have walked before
Done the porch and render and paint modernisation
The neighbour is well edged too
Turned down a road not walked this side - a bit of old style been whitewashed but got the English country garden feel
Took a cross street - Blenheim Rd - shades of old England walking distance from Lindfield station
Well it was shades of old England with small houses going back in time
They have been painted - red brick is gone. They retain the timber struts and they all added the birdlike firm on the roof corners. Warding off evil spirits
Timber struts are gone - grand stairs
Got the warding off thing only
Gone cross-hatch here
This one never had the struts - original slatework brick is open - no render
Imperial arch added here. The whole front brick wall was a veneer facade - hiding something not nice
They got the imperial arch salesman too and the render guy
Last one - promise. A render and paint job . This house had a non-English name and a date - 1912. Going to guess this was the oldest this side of the street but all the others were built within 20 years of that. No evidence of sub-divisions are battle axes
Raindrop to end - double Barberton daisy. They remind me of growing up times. My mum had them
Did a little shopping on the way home. Cooked macaroni cheese for dinner. Bechemel poured over cooked macaroni - topped with tomato slices and grated parmesan and smoked paprika - bake 20 minutes from here
