Famille Close in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Famille Close – Continues the street names theme used in the first stage of the Delamain subdivision. Named in 2008.The library website didn’t say much. Again a modern street with a footpath on only one side. The side with no footpath had houses which were identical and they didn’t appeal to me. Only one had made an effort to add a bit of personality by having a couple of interesting garden features. I would loved to have taken a photo but didn’t feel comfortable about it. I can’t even describe the garden feature that I liked as it was a mixture of a model of an old house and was also possibly a bird feeder and it was on a wee platform.On the other side the houses were all different but again modern and boring. One had great garden artwork and again I wish that I could have taken photos but the neighbours were in their driveway. There were curved Oamaru stone sculptures plus a large sculpture of a flower that looked a bit like a tulip.
