Continue reading →: Holidays and Valentine’s Day EarthquakeSo I’m well overdue for a blog post – I’ve been a bit slack of late thanks to being away on holiday and also work commitments have been fairly all-consuming. Hence a lack of photos. Anyway, enough excuses! Here’s a few of my photos from my 2-week holiday. As for…

Other than getting to one of the comedy nights (see Urzila Carson if you get the chance – she’s one very funny lady), I’ve missed most of the buskers festival (as days of it were rained out). I’ve always loved the festival, but have to say that since it’s been…

Continue reading →: A Cycle Ride from Ferrymead to LincolnToday, I joined my friend Emma on a bike ride to Lincoln. I left from Ferrymead and met Emma in Opawa. I took the tow path track to get to Garlands Road and then went through the park and followed the river to Opawa. We then embarked on our bike…

This community library has been around a while – so it must be quite popular as there’s always books in it. There are a few little street libraries around Christchurch and they all seem to be well cared for.

Continue reading →: Arts Centre RestorationThe clock tower of the Arts Centre is looking wonderful – like it was only just built (check out those dark slate roofing tiles!). The Arts Centre was a cultural hub for Christchurch and a fun place to while away an hour or so browsing the market and checking out…

Continue reading →: City Walk – Cycle Lanes and Wide Footpaths
A few photos today from my walk around the city. I’ve picked these ones as they show some of the urban developments that I find interesting – such as the new cycle lanes and the narrowing of the streets with larger footpaths. This is Colombo Street by the bus exchange…

Continue reading →: An anniversary walk up the Bridle PathTo mark the 6th anniversary of our first date, my partner Bruce and I walked up the Bridle Path track in Heathcote. It was six years ago today that we had our first date – and at my suggestion it was the walk up the track. It was stinking hot…

Continue reading →: Akaroa Harbour Cruise
Akaroa is one of my favourite places in Canterbury. It’s just 90 minutes drive away. I was meant to go out dolphin swimming for a friend’s birthday (just as a non-swimmer), but it got a bit rough and they recommended non-swimmers give it a miss as the swells on the…

This is the very newly opened Margaret Mahy Playground – named after the New Zealand children’s book author Margaret Mahy. The playground is the largest in the southern hemisphere and had a budget of 20 million dollars. Today was a perfect day for a visit – a balmy and sunny…
