USING STONEWORK TO TIE TOGETHER A SANTA BARBARA HOME AND GARDEN

When these clients hired Grace Design Associates for their garden layout, they had just built a home and studio on Pedregosa Street in Santa Barbara, CA. But, true to its name pedregosa meaning “rocky” in Spanish the site was replete with sandstone unearthed during construction, everything from boulders to a large wall and curbs. The clients wanted all stone to be integrated into the landscape and any new stonework made to blend with the old. They needed to tie the new construction together with already existing historical homes in the neighborhood, some dating from the 1800s. As if those parameters weren’t challenging enough, the clients  recent Iowa transplants also wanted a “little bit of home” and a prairie feel about the grounds.



Grace went to work, using boulders and terracing to make outdoor “rooms” for different uses. A stone amphitheater  for proposed musical/social evenings  and fire pit are now central gathering places; fixed seating on one side allows for the other side to be used as anything from additional “stage” area to a spot to lay out sleeping bags. Near the fire pit is a cedar hot tub, close enough for enjoyment of the flames but distant enough to provide solitude. Plantings are simple, with lots of native grasses that not only conserve water, but are low-maintenance. Best of all, as the designers put it, “Every last piece of stone was used on site…and some were then ‘broken down’ to differing degrees to suggest a long history of site occupation.” Thus, “The garden connects the house to the site, the neighborhood, and the larger setting seamlessly.”









 

WORKER QUITS BY BAKING A CAKE AND WRITING RESIGNATION LETTER IN ICING (LET'S HOPE HE ISN’T MADE TO EAT HIS WORDS!)

A Border Agency employee stunned his bosses with bizarre resignation letter iced on to a cake.

Chris Holmes penned his resignation letter to the UK Border Agency at Stansted Airport on a homemade cake.

 Chris Holmes, 31, who worked at Stansted Airport, tweeted a picture of the note to resign from his job and pursue his dream to run a bakery business.

Mr Homes said: 'I handed in the cake in person to the duty manager. I think he was pleasantly surprised.

'It was a passion cake - a carrot cake made with coconut, pecans, sultanas and orange buttercream.

'The lettering was a bit tricky because there were so many words and was quite fiddly.

The resignation seemed like the natural choice for a cakemaker with a whimsical sense of humour.

'I thought it was a good natured resignation and hopefully left a nice taste in their mouths.

'I’d been planning it for six-months but kept it to myself because I wasn’t sure when I would be leaving.'

'I’d been working with the UK Border Agency for around seven years and set up the cake business in July 2010.

'I decided that my passion lies with food and wanted to spend more time at home with my son Ben.'

The former civil servant stunned employees by adding a touching message to the confectionery.

He wrote: ‘Having recently become a father I now realise how precious life is and how important it is to spend my time doing something that makes me and other people happy.

‘For that reason I hereby give notice of my resignation, in order that I may devote my time and energy to my family, and to my cake business which has grown steadily over the past few years.

 

I wish the organisation and my colleagues the best for the future .

’The picture of the ‘resignation cake’ came to light when it was tweeted by his relative Stuart Jackson.

He tweeted: 'So, my brother-in-law has resigned from his 9-to-5 job in spectacular fashion. Jerry Maguire meets Masterchef.'

Bill Form, Border Force Assistant Director at Stansted, said: 'Chris handed in the cake, along with a more formal letter, yesterday. He leaves with our very best wishes and we wish him well for the future.
