Another nor’wester descends on Canterbury
Some people fear them, others revel in the unforgiving dry heat – love them or hate them the legendary Canterbury nor'wester is one of the defining features of this region in the summer months and there is a real doozy blowing outside at the moment.

Where in the world is this year's first outer space?
So Wayne's wall is all done (and gloriously untagged) and Ronnie's peering out nightly over the Boulevard.

So it was time to view someone else's collection, and see how it enriches their working environment.
