Continue reading →: Message from NormandyA touching message from two French tourists for the citizens of Christchurch. It is pinned to one of the fences on the cordon in the CBD.

Continue reading →: Christchurch Cathedral WalkI went into the Square today to take another look at the Cathedral. It’s still a pretty sobering experience going in there, no matter how often I see it in real life or on the telly and also a fairly surreal experience (especially on a beautiful Autumnal day).

Continue reading →: Alice in Videoland is BackSo pleased to see Alice in Videoland is back up and running with their grand re-opening today at their old location. Now I just have to sit down and plan out my winter DVD viewing schedule (think I’ll start with some classic Audrey Hepburn movies)!

Continue reading →: Mural at Linwood ParkWhat a wonderful and colourful mural the kids from Linwood Intermediate have painted on a building at Linwood Park. It’s certainly eye-catching with a great message. I’ve been seeing it for weeks now so though it was time I added it to the blog.

From what I saw on the news the other night, it looks like they’ve done the bulk of the demolition work on the Victoria Square side of the Crown Plaza. You can actually make out the Forsyth Barr building through one of…

Continue reading →: Akaroa HighlightsI have been in Akaroa this weekend and have loved every minute of it. I took a lot of photos both with my cellphone and my DSLR. Highlights of the weekend were going to The Giants House – a stunning garden full of the most incredible mosaic sculptures (you must…

Continue reading →: Flowers on Ferry RoadThese are some flowers that are growing in a vacant lot in Woolston on Ferry Road. They are quite extensive and attractive. I’m guessing someone has thrown in a few seed bombs – and aren’t they doing well!

Continue reading →: Bulgarian Martenitsa Tree Botanic GardensI spotted this tree in the weekend (not sure if it’s still there). It is decorated in red and white as it is part of Project Martenitza which promotes the Moldovan tradition of celebrating March 1st. According to the website: “Bulgarian artist Marian Milanov decorates trees in white and red…
