A day in Christchurch...

After a much needed sleep-in Pauline and I head off to Crisp for brunch! What a wonderful environment - scrumptious eggs benedict, divine coffee and free wi-fi.  Could it get any better?

Just loving the re-purposing of this door into a coffee table! 

Pauline and I had a wonderful geeking session, catching up and sharing our current successes, challenges, dreams and more... Off we head for Sumner... but we notice signs to Crafty Christchurch.

A little bit of MAGIC - I managed to find just the accessory I need... more on that much, much later...

A glorious sunny Christchurch day, nothing could prepare me for the reality of Redcliffs and Sumner.  Despite having seen it on 
TV repeatedly, seeing it with your own eyes is a completely different experience...

After an ice-cream and cold drink at Redcliffs we headed back through town pausing to remember the 185...

Christchurch, you are AMAZING, you are resilient and innovative. What a MAGICAL day in this beautiful city!
