There's more..

And for the same building, this lovely pair...

A lovely pair!

The judges at The Worshipful Company of Gardeners have kindly awarded us a lovely pair of plaques for our planted troughs in St.Andrew Street, London EC4.   The displays have just been replenished with winter bedding and it was a treat to see that on the first Monday morning after they had been replanted, all of the plants were still there!   It is not unusual for Friday night revellers to feel romantically inclined.   Without a florist open nearby and with an urge to present a floral token of appreciation to their target, suitors would often borrow a flowering plant or two.   Tell tale signs are (obviously) a large gap in the display and a trail of compost leading down the street.   This morning there was only the slightest hint of compost on the pavement and the single flowering plant that had been removed had been placed back in to position.   It just needed firming in.   Thank you to that young man that had a change of heart, at least with regard to the plant.   I hope the girl of your dreams will be in your arms tonight!

Beautiful boxes

Why do they discontinue things when they are so lovely?   Because nobody buys them, that's why.   When they are no longer available there's a sudden surge of interest.   "There's no call for them these days, and you're the tenth person I've told that to today!"   The beautiful Piniot window box (1000mm x 220mm wide x 240mm tall) is back by popular demand but only as a special order of four or more.   Any colour you like including lead finish and aged lead finish.

Cameras hidden in amongst stones

A BBC news report states that Network Rail had spent £16.5m to replace stolen electrical cable and compensate train operators for lost service after thieves had removed the cable for the copper.  With scrapyards paying around £ 5000 a tonne, it seems like thieves had struck gold if you see what I mean.   It would take hundreds of metres of cable to make a tonne of copper so the rewards are not that easy to come by.   In order to catch the train track robbers in the act, network rail has installed motion activated cameras amongst the stones and sleepers.   As you can see in the previous post, we now supply smaller artificial rocks, all of which are hollow and can be used to hide a camera or monitoring equipment.   There is even a hollow breezeblock for larger cameras.   Ideal for monitoring building sites and building supply yards.   http://www.artificialrocks.co.uk/
