Summertime*...

...and the living is easy. Despite saying Farewell to The Godwits the summer thinks it is long from over – a gloriously hot summer day and the morning was spent just wandering the streets of Christchurch, stopping occasionally for a coffee or a peek inside shops. We looked for the Town Crier but he was nowhere to be seen.

    At last a music title/line I can put a name to! Have much enjoyed the tales and pics of NZ, the scenery sounds breathtaking. Hope you have a good flight to Sydney; looking forward to hearing all about the Australian experience, particularly Bloomfield. Love Jean xx

    Clearly there's very little to do in Christchurch except icing cakes and tiling a la V & A.

    I thought Gregg had over egged the survival wear

    I like the tiles - but what's the significance of what look like swastikas in a Victorian encaustic tile design?

    BTW - enough about the nice weather - us lot back in Blighty have just endured the coldest winter for 30 years. Shame you've missed it.

    Hi Burkel and everyone. Wikipedia seems pretty comprehensive on the ancient origins of the swastika symbol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika.
