The Hayes family of Mt Pleasant often leave drawings and messages on the side of their house. Today it was a message of remembrance to mark the 3rd anniversary of the February 22nd 2011 earthquake. The family were also responsible for leaving flowers in road cones around the area and…

I usually start in the Restart Mall, then go down down Oxford Terrace, up into the Square, through to New Regent street and then either back down Manchester to High Street.

Continue reading →: Macrocarpa Tree by the CausewayThe seawall and Coastal Pathway are currently being built along the causeway, and as you can see this tree looks to be in the way, but it is staying. Apparently it’s important for bird life in the area. The tree has been trimmed a little so it’s safe for cyclists…

Continue reading →: Bunnies in Ferrymead ParkI went for a walk tonight in Ferrymead Park (near the Tram Station). It’s a lovely spot to walk on a summer’s evening. If you are a nature lover, you can be rewarded with a lot of bird life – White Faced Herons, Kingfishers, Plovers, Pukekos, and you may also…

Continue reading →: Flowers in the City
Flowers grow all around the city in nice little plots that are well maintained. The cheerfulness of the yellow flower is in stark contrast to the background – the buildings that used to make up what was known as SOL Square, which was a popular evening venue with bars and…
