The tranquil entrance garden to St Columba’s church,Parkview, full of scented shrubs, roses & a fountain. (Shame about the aircon unit).This suburb was founded around 1906 on land deemed unsuitable for further gold mining and is full of colonial style gems of houses along tranquil tree lined avenues. All the roads are named after places in Ireland as the suburb’s notable resident was Irishman Major O’Hara who became Mayor of Joburg in 1916 & was instrumental in setting up the renowned University of the Witwatersrand.

Thank you! This was taken in our garden in Belgium … we’re surrounded by woodland and with the sun low at this time of year, the crocuses tend to grow towards it.
