Chris and I managed to get away for Easter: first we went to Christchurch. There's nothing like a common tragedy to pull people together. Without exception, everyone was helpful, friendly, chatty and trying very hard to be upbeat, despite the ravage of the city centre and the writing-off of so many residential buildings. Big decisions ahead for a lot of people. Do they stay? Rebuild? Will the city centre be relocated? We experienced tremors while we were there. Very uncomfortable thinking any one of them could be another large one.
I have always been obsessed with creation and colour. These days I play with glass and fabric as much of the time as I can. The rest is taken up with a little paid architectural work, family and playing with our two cats.
