Continue reading →: River of Flowers, Earthquake Anniversary
Today is the 5th anniversary of our major and very damaging earthquake. One of the ways the anniversary was marked is with the River of Flowers commemoration. I contributed some of my own roses and watched as the many flowers floated down the river. It’s certainly a lovely way to…

Continue reading →: Two Fluro Bikes
I spotted these bikes today when I was taking photos of the Avon River. The bikes stood out so much and seemed to fit right into the surroundings with the road cones. I don’t know what make they are or if this is a ‘thing’ in the biking world, but…

Continue reading →: The Terraces – Not Long NowLocated on Oxford Terrace right by the Avon River and the Bridge of Remembrance, The Terraces is a new development that is part of the Avon river enhancements. Once finished it will be a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the area. From the looks of things, it can’t be…

Continue reading →: Part Two of the Holiday Photos – Nelson and SurroundsWe stayed quite a few days in Nelson – at least four. It’s such a lovely spot and so easy to get around on bike and because we had our bikes with us that’s what we did a lot of. In fact we spent over 3 hours just cycling around…

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…

Continue reading →: Ferrymead Park WalkAfter days of rain we’ve got the sunshine and blue skies of summer back! So I headed out for a walk through Ferrymead park today – a popular place to go for a walk, run or take the dogs out for some exercise.

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 →: Spectrum Street Art at the YMCAI checked out the Spectrum Street Art Festival at the YMCA on Hereford Street today. It’s fabulous and I was totally blown away by the first artwork (above) which was actually four separate panels that makes up the entire picture.

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…
