A change of office for me has meant a change of scenery.
Linwood
I now head to work east – I’d call it Linwood but postcode finder calls it Woolston. My new walking route takes me close to the Avon River, whichever way I go. And in places – like here, down on Whitmore Street – it is beautiful. 
Stanmore Road
Here is the Richmond workingmens’ club being demolished.
Avonside Drive
Clearances are underway, and in some cases done.
Linwood Avenue
A phoenix and the Basilica?
Town
The city still draws me in. I like to check out what is happening. I was in town for a meeting on Friday 8 November and spotted that Lichfield Street had re-opened – that stretch between Colombo and Manchester Street.
The famous mannequins of Frontrunner.
The new Strange’s building takes shape.
Christchurch City Libraries has a page on the history of Strange’s.
And more views of town: Old Millers/CCC on Tuam Street.
I find the wildflowers on the corner in Latimer Square so beautiful. Nature does it best.
And the Whare in Cathedral Square by Chris Heaphy also uses flowers and plants to mitigate against greyness and demolition.
Armistice Day wreaths.
Open Day at the historic Colombo Street bridge. SCIRT explained the repairs and did a great job involving the kids.
St Albans
Keeping it local – St Albans School Market Saturday 9 November.
Abberley Park.
Baby shower!
Other stuff
Kinder surprise Star Wars and New World miniature fun.
