Below is a recent photograph of Christchurch city centre from the air. Despite massive building projects and the re-building now at the halfway point, there are still large tracts of bare land in the CBD. It can be quite depressing to drive around the area and I avoid it if at all possible. I hope the city will be rebuilt in my lifetime but I fear not!

5 YEARS, FIVE MONTHS OF EARTHQUAKES - over 12,000 so far.

I try hard to forget the horrors of the last five years, Tombro, but it is not always easy. My younger sister, who lives in the south of Spain, has been here for a visit over the last 4 weeks. During that time Christchurch had another two strong earthquakes, as well as several minor ones. She said that in comparison she had only experienced two shakes in the entire 15 years she has lived in Spain, in an area which has had major earthquakes in the past.

Still, what can we do but cope with it, keep smiling and try to stay positive?
