This morning they were lifting Neil Dawson’s Spires into place in Latimer Square.
Lifting in the Spires
By this afternoon it was all installed, suspended in its cradle.
Spires in situ
It’s reminiscent of the Christ Church Cathedral spire, and I like it, although I think we could have been told about it beforehand. I presume there’ll be a launch (unveiling?) on Saturday as part of the third earthquake anniversary.
“All unannounced we have acquired
a new monument that’s in-spired.”
Ruth's Reflections 
I wonder why it has all been done so quietly. I have seen one small mention of it in the paper and that was only recently.

I saw that brief mention too. Perhaps there’ll be something in the feature the “Press” is planning for the anniversary.

Wow Ruth, normally I not that impressed with the art work happening, but this does look quite emotional & spectacular. Changing the subject here. How are your bees going?

Our bees are fine, thanks, Ness. They love the warm sunny days, and are very active then.

I love Neil Dawson’s work, and it certainly is in-spired, as your witty couplet announces.
