Continue reading →: Christchurch Earthquake MemorialWe attended the memorial in Hagley Park today. Tens of thousands of people turned up to pay their respects to the victims of the quake and to gather and find strength and some sense of a way forward. Prince William attended and the first photo is of him giving his…

Continue reading →: Monarch butterfly on yellow flowerOn my walk yesterday I decided to focus on nice things, so took lots of interesting photos of plants, flowers, red doors etc. And this lovely monarch – who was resting on the flower that was right beside the fence to someone’s house. It just sat there letting me snap…

Continue reading →: Heathcote HorsesI took a walk around Heathcote today, and came across these horses in one of the paddocks. The black one was by the fence when I walked past so I decided to go over for a pat. Sure enough the chestnut horse came over to inspect things. We had a…

Continue reading →: The Sky TonightToday has been lovely and warm with lots of sunshine – a welcome break from two grey and overcast days this weekend (which made quite a few people I know feel rather gloomy). We had a momentous occasion today – we got water! It came on a couple of days…

Continue reading →: Mount Pleasant and Opawa / St Martins Farmer’s MarketsThis weekend I had the pleasure of attending two new farmer’s markets that are close by. The Opawa market has been in the planning stages for a while apparently, but the Mount Pleasant one sprung up in response to the earthquake and a desire to do something for the local…

Continue reading →: Liquefaction Smiley FaceSomeone has made a smiley face from the liquefaction left along Ferry Road (Ferrymead end) by the Mud House cafe. A bright spot after the terrible news coming out of Japan. Today, I very much feel a kinship with the people of Japan after their powerful earthquake. We watched the …

Continue reading →: A walk down Ferry Road WoolstonLast night we got power! We were so excited that we just stared at the lights and the TV like people who had never seen either before in their lives. I exclaimed ‘even the adverts are amazing!’ The love affair with TV didn’t last long – it’s off now (Thursday…

Continue reading →: A walk around OpawaThis is a sticker you might get on your rubbish bin if you mix up your recycling – I’ve photo-shopped it for my message. Keep being good to each other. I’m currently working out of a friend’s house in Opawa (literally on their kitchen table). I used to live not…

Continue reading →: Road closed aheadChristchurch residents will be getting used to seeing these road closed signs. It’s hard to know when you are out and driving exactly which roads are closed. Today it feels like a metaphor for the future – road closed, what lies beyond?

Continue reading →: Rainbow over Christchurch this morningThis rainbow is from about 8am this morning. It cheered me up a little and it seemed very appropriate. It might only be March but the weather has decided to go cold and drizzly on us 😦 It is now 13 days that we have been without power (hence the…

Continue reading →: Portoloos FerrymeadThese portoloos turned up a few days ago. They’re a bit far to walk for me and my partner! And not sure I care to brave one either – based on what I heard about the ones placed in suburbs for September’s quake. I’ve had a quiet day focusing on…
