At low tide you can see liquefaction that has been caused by the earthquake. Not sure what will happen to this – perhaps it will settle back down, but it makes for an interesting landscape.…

Continue reading →: You’ve got Frog MailI’m spending a lot of time in a different part of town at the moment, so I am seeing a lot of this frog mail box. I love it, as it makes me smile every time I see it (and we all need something to smile about at the moment).…

Continue reading →: A Beautiful Canterbury SunsetWell, it’s one week today since this dreadful earthquake hit and I feel like I live in another world entirely.

Well I did this morning – and imagine my surprise (and delight) when I spotted the neighbours cat (probably still really a kitten) sitting on our recycle bin and watching me work.
