Continue reading →: Beverley Park Heritage Rose GardenI’ve often driven past Beverley Park on Avonside Drive. It looks like a grassy park with a some trees in it – much like many of the local parks around Christchurch. So I had never actually stopped to have a look inside the park. But today, as you can see,…

Continue reading →: Flowers of the Cashel Re START MallI went for a walk around the ReStart Mall this afternoon and was admiring the sunflowers that are thriving. I love all the other flowers in the mall too, they add so much colour and really make the mall a great public space. Sunflowers are so cheerful, but as I…

It’s located on the site of the Crowne Plaza Hotel – which was demolished this year. There are events being held at the pavillion with musicians playing live music. I’ve not…

Continue reading →: The Botanic Gardens this MorningI met a friend for a walk in the Botanic Gardens this morning – and of course my camera came along. It was a lovely morning and the gardens are looking fabulous as usual. Though I have to say, my favourite spot of all was the pond (pictured above), as…

Continue reading →: Santa Decorations at the Colombo Street CordonI went down to check out the reduced cordon at Cathedral Square. As you walk into the square you have to pass the army cordon. The fence by the cordon has santa decorations and a santa sack. The walk into the square didn’t reveal much more than I’d already seen…
