Continue reading →: D’oh! Homer Simpson Cut OutI spotted this cut out of Homer Simpson this afternoon in the city. Hilarious! Some people go to a lot of trouble to add something funny to the city, and to them I thank you!

Continue reading →: Art Work Window Display in HeathcoteSome days, in search of my daily photo, I just go on a drive and think, who knows what might be down this street. Well tonight, imagine my surprise when I saw this on a street in Heathcote! It’s certainly eye catching. There’s a note in the window display from…

Continue reading →: More blossom and some broken treesTwo nights ago, we had gale force winds in Christchurch. It has resulted in quite a few up-rooted trees around the city and further west into rural Canterbury. Many people had wondered if the blossoms on Harper Avenue would survive these strong winds. Well I’m pleased to report they certainly…

Continue reading →: Edmonds Factory Garden on Ferry RoadThis garden is located on Ferry Road – it’s a garden I suspect many people in Christchurch drive by and wonder what’s in there, but never stop to visit. It’s a lovely spot and I particularly like the chairs and the ivy-covered entrance-ways. There were some wild winds in Canterbury…

Continue reading →: Blossom Trees in Hagley Park by Harper AveThe blossom trees along Harper Avenue are in full bloom and looking so lovely. They border Hagley Park’s walkway and it’s a popular place for walkers, runners and cyclists. It’s certainly delightful walking underneath these trees on a warm spring day. Across the road there are some lovely coloured daffodils…

It can be seen at Peterborough Street in the central city (where the convention centre used to be opposite the town hall). The Temple is a temporary art installation where people can write about their experiences of the earthquakes, or their hopes for the…

Continue reading →: Some of the animals at the Willowbank Wildlife ReserveI spent this morning walking around the Willowbank Wildlife Reserve on Husseys Road. I honestly don’t remember when I was last there – years ago I think, and I don’t believe I’ve ever featured it on the blog before. So I was well overdue for a visit. I’m so glad…

Continue reading →: Blossom Tree by the Water WheelI’ve been waiting for this blossom tree to come out – as in the last few years I’ve missed it in full bloom, being a little too late to take photos of it. But this year, I’ve been checking on it each week to see how far away the blossom…

Continue reading →: Christchurch Sign South of the CityI travelled back to Christchurch today and decided to finally take a photo of this Christchurch sign. It’s fairly understated… but after a long 6 hour drive I am always relieved to see it as it means I’m home again!

Continue reading →: We’re Still Living Here, Three Years on from our First QuakeToday is the third anniversary of the first large earthquake in Christchurch. It was a magnitude 7.1 earthquake and was located west of the city. Though some buildings sustained a lot of damage, as a city, we got off lightly. For the next six months after September, we lived in…
