Tree takes a tumble...

We lose the kids swing tree.  Earthquakes and now storms. Poor old tree...

Kaikoura - Weekend Away

Lovely couple asked us to stay in their hotel to get away from Christchurch and the mess.  Nice weekend and found the young seals at the waterfall this time. Very cool.

Luke's Work - Bakery

Went to get a pie and see where Luke is working.  The bakery is moved in to a porta-cabin as the original has been condemned and is falling down.

Big Crane - Knocking down another building

Lots of things coming down now. Shame all the older heritage buildings are nearly gone.

Beach Walk - Spencer Park

Get some fresh air away from the city. Milly and kids loved the sand.

EQC Money comes in...

 The kids also spent some of their paper round money.

After the earthquake some of the EQC money comes in to replace our broken goods.

Mandy is looking chuffed..
