Continue reading →: Big Trees of the Botanic GardensI recently had a request via the Facebook page, to feature some photos of the big trees in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens.

Continue reading →: Cathedral Square walk wayToday I took the opportunity to walk into the square (the entrance is from the Cashel Mall). It was quite a surreal experience, especially since it was such a beautiful day – a stark contrast to the destruction we were viewing. There were lots of families doing the walk, quite…

Continue reading →: Sydenham’s Coffee Zone, The Big Wall, Greening the Rubble and the Community Chess BoardThis is the Coffee Zone caravan that is now serving coffee and food on Colombo Street in Sydenham.

Continue reading →: A walk up Mt HerbertI don’t normally put myself in my photos! But for this one I thought why the heck not. It’s been a goal of mine to get fit enough (and light enough) to climb to the top of Mt Herbert which is 919m high. Today I achieved that goal. My partner…

Continue reading →: Heathcote Book Exchange, Martindales RoadI’ve just spotted the new book exchange in Heathcote on Martindales Road. It’s about 2 houses down from the library that is now closed.
