A Walk in the Park

'A walk in the park' is an idiom which means  an easy thing to do. Well, on a sunny day it really is easy and very pleasurable to have a brisk walk  or a saunter in the beautiful park very close to our home.
This park is a working farm, so has cattle, sheep and a few chickens. A pheasant or 3 were spotted on the weekend.
The old oaks and others were planted by some early settlers who came to New Zealand from England.

All Aucklanders are grateful to the people who planted these trees and left this park as a gift to our city.

The gardeners have planted, among the old stone walls, vegetables that have the most beautiful flowers and colours that harmonise with the lichens and the grey of the rocks.

Inspiration for a home garden. You only need to allow your herbs and vegetables to go to seed to produce beautiful displays and be sure of another crop seeding itself next season. 

'You pulled me from the brink of death,
My feet from the cliff-edge of doom.
Now I shall stroll at leisure with God
In the sunlit fields of life.'
Psalm 56 The Message.
