Continue reading →: Oh so random!One of the things I love about Christchurch post-earthquakes, is the random things that turn up all over the city. This random thing is a face made in polystyrene with glass glued to the outside of it. It’s just visible by Tuam Street near the Cassels bar (it’s right by…

Continue reading →: The Cake Shop at The Tannery in WoolstonThere is now a cake shop at the Tannery in Woolston. I went along this morning to check it out with my photo club.
