Spring is here

Amidst all the doom and gloom and fear, a friend has pointed out that it is spring at last.
Lets enjoy what that means in Christchurch.....

Daffs near the river

Beautiful blossom in Harper Ave

Hagley Park

Plenty of lambs

Bleubells in Little Hagley

and we still have the cathedral in the square...

Thanks Linda for reminding us all :)

There are some great websites for checking what is damaged.... the saddest part of them is the google street map lets you see what they used to look like and knowing they are no longer standing :(
