Continue reading →: A Bunny, a Bird, a Bee and some BlossomI was walking through the Family Recovery Garden on Manchester Street (opposite the Margaret Mahy Playground) when this bunny came hopping towards me. I had heard there was a tame rabbit in the area but hadn’t given any thought to trying to find it or photograph it (or going on…

Continue reading →: Grymmstone Treacle Steampunk Store Tea PotGrymmstone Treacle is a Steampunk Store in Sydenham, and you’ll often see this copper tea pot parked out the front. This teapot is, in fact, a wonderfully re-designed mobility scooter used by the store’s owner Katrina Douglas. You can read more about it online at this Stuff article.

Continue reading →: Shand’s EmporiumThis historic building is getting done up. From the design on the front of the fence, it looks like the final paint job will be green. It’s on Manchester Street beside the former Trinity Congregational Church. It will be lovely to see it back fully restored. Just a shame there’s a giant…

This parking building is located on Lichfield Street opposite the Justice & Emergency building. It’s got rather an interesting design – but a little different from the architectural drawings I found online. It can’t be far off from being finished.

We timed our visit there perfectly – the roads had been well graded and just a little bit of ice in places. When we started seeing the snow at around Burkes Pass area I started getting excited. I really don’t know…

Continue reading →: Burkes PassI had a mini-break to Tekapo this weekend and it was a stunning destination with snow right down to the ground – making everything look like a winter fairyland (I’ll post photos this week sometime). On the way back to Christchurch I decided I absolutely had to have a coffee…

Continue reading →: Good Friends Bring Donuts
After a full-on work week, I needed to get some fresh air and decided I would treat myself to a doughnut from Glamour Cake in Lyttelton. It’s pretty bad weather-wise today, with flooding happening in parts of the city, so I thought I’d have a better chance of getting the…
