Alan first of all I hope your wife makes a good recovery

I hope I have not upset anyone on this thread by giving you my thoughts
I feel i am a little of a New Zealander with my grandfather McKenzie being born in Dunedin .they returned to Scotland in 1890

Last night with nothing to watch on our TV we watched the DVD we made in December 2010 of our holiday  there and when the part came of Christchurch in the Cathedral we both just froze

I said to my husband many of you would like to see this as the little ones are there singing .My thoughts were hope all of them are safe

Before we left Lyttleton I videoed and we watched the trucks moving about the harbour in those high up vehicles shifting containers ,we just said how would those poor men get from those at the time of the quake
we can only but imagine  This is the only way we can share our thoughts with you all by you being able to write and let us know your daily happenings and I thank for that
Take care of yourselves if you can and have strength to help others god bless

You certainly haven't upset me, we very much appreciate your and others concern and your nice memories of Chch.

Alan so pleased you are all safe albeit wife battered ;)

Cheers

 ... quite a strong quake in Kaikoura at 4.43  4.9! ... wouldn't suggest a few deep breaths for your wife Alan, that would be extra painful on the ribs! ... hope it all comes right soon.
