Pedantry and peacocks
13 January 2008 | Christchurch Botanical Garden
Opposite the old University buildings is the Botanical Garden, home to the Peacock Fountain. Lou showed us this with pride, and Sarah, absolutely true to form, took one look and said 'those aren't peacocks, they're herons'.
A hunt for a plaque showed the fountain was named after a nineteenth century worthy called Peacock, but Lou and Pip both felt that a little pedantry goes a long way.
