Continue reading →: Democracy in action – Christchurch citizens protest over City CouncilI went along to check out the protest today – it was very well attended. Quite a few people are frustrated with the city council so turned up to have their voices heard. Check out the Press article for more details about the issues.

Continue reading →: Bellbird feeding in the Herbaceous Border, Christchurch Botanic GardensI went to the gardens with the intention of photographing the herbaceous border and getting some lovely flower photos. Well I achieved that and was about to leave when I saw something moving on the red hot poker plant. I was very pleasantly surprised when I spotted it was a…

Continue reading →: Teddy Bear Up a TreeI didn’t quite believe my eyes this morning, when I spotted this teddy bear up a tree in a local park! I’m guessing it’s been left behind accidentally and some kind person has put it somewhere visible in case the owner comes back for it. So if you’re missing a…

Continue reading →: Buskers at North Hagley ParkI finally got into North Hagley Park for a look at some more busker acts. Here’s a little photo montage of some of the performers I saw today. Seeing the buskers in Hagley Park made me feel very nostalgic for past busker festivals that have been hosted in the Arts…

Continue reading →: Street Cirucs Act, Buskers at New BrightonI caught the Street Circus buskers at New Brighton this afternoon. They were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed myself in the sunshine at the beach. I hope to check out a few more acts tomorrow at Hagley Park.

It’s a great place for some tasty Thai food – the service is always good and fast too. I had the chicken with cashew nuts and Bruce had the lamb shanks. They were both delicious.…

Continue reading →: Maltworks Silo Demolition, Heathcote ValleyAnyone familiar with the Heathcote Valley will recognise the silos from the Maltworks. They rather stand out in the valley and are something of an eyesore (though I have met people who actually like them). Well each to his own I guess, but whatever your opinion of the view, the…

Continue reading →: Wild flowers on Manchester StreetAll around the city there are vacant demolition sites that have burst into life with wild flowers growing in patches. I’m not sure if someone has dropped some seed mix onto this spot or not – but some of the planting does look a bit random in places. I know…

Continue reading →: A burger and chips at Burgers and BeersBurgers and Beers used to be on High Street (which is now in the cordon). They have re-located to Colombo Street (by The Colombo shopping mall). We popped in there for a burger and some of their delicious chips and gravy. I’ve been wanting to go and have one of…

Continue reading →: Bulwer, Pelorus Sound, MarlboroughFor the last week I have been away on holiday in an idyllic spot called Bulwer. It’s also a fairly remote spot as well – it took us about 8 hours to drive there from Christchurch. It was the most wonderful place to spend a week away from the everyday…
