Continue reading →: Blossom Tree by the Water WheelA beautiful spring day today (even though the forecast was for cold and wet). So, to make the most of the sunshine I went for a walk around the central city and discovered the blossom tree by the water wheel on Oxford Terrace is in full bloom. I’ve missed this…

Continue reading →: Buildings on Bealey Avenue
I’ve always admired these lovely wooden buildings on Bealey Avenue – unfortunately I don’t know much about them or if they have a group name. Like a lot of wooden buildings, they appear to have come through the earthquakes relatively unscathed (though they’ve probably needed at least some work on…

Continue reading →: Knox Church on Victoria StreetThe Knox Church on the corner of Bealey Avenue and Victoria Street was very badly damaged in our earthquakes and they started rebuilding it last year – it was stripped right back to its frames for a long time. I was really surprised when driving back from my holiday to…

Continue reading →: St Andrews Hill Road
This road was closed for a few weeks while they worked on the retaining wall – which as you can see looks pretty solid. They’ve also done some planting which I suspect will look rather nice in a few years. I can’t remember now what used to be here! And…

So I thought I’d post a few photos from my break so far – with the most iconic one being the Flinders Street Railway Station on Flinders Street A view from the Eureka Skydeck Melbourne (highly recommended). Looking …

Magnolia tree in Avonside. This blog comes to you from Melbourne (tricky huh!). I’m away having a wee holiday in Australia, but have prepared a few photos in advance. I thought today was the 7th anniversary of my blog but it was actually yesterday – so seven years ago I…

Continue reading →: Osteospermum in my Garden
Today is the 4th anniversary of the first big earthquake to strike Christchurch. Rather than focusing on the earthquake and the city that now is, I had a quiet day at home working and took some snaps of my Osteospermum flowers. We have a difficult bit of garden strip that…

Soleares Avenue – Mount Pleasant re-opened this week after some major rock stabilisation. Looks quite impressive. I remember walking down here not long after the Feb earthquake and deciding it might be better to actually run past this section!
