My thoughts are with all those in NZ affected by this dreadful event.

It is hard for me to believe that 2 years ago last week my wife and I were in Christchurch admiring that beautiful city.  I still can't believe that I had to buy a fleece; it was that cold!

I have no doubt that the resolve of the Kiwis will help them through this. 

Best wishes,

I wonder if anyone was in the tower?  Just heart breaking for all the families local and international.

LOL Althea I thought at the time I posted the photo, I had seen other children's rooms which look worse than that in normal everyday life.  I keep a tidy home, children have to pick up after themselves.

113 deaths at this stage.  May the angels take their souls to a peaceful place.

I too bought a jacket in Christchurch as I was cold  not knowing what it had in it
on the back is New Zealand and on the front is Wild Kiwi .when we were sitting having a Star Buck coffee my husband said to me your a wild Kiwi I said what do you mean and it was then I noticed what was on the jacket .I am now wearing it to go for my shopping .

The young lad who served me was from down South in England
The shop was just off the square with lots of jackets Boot's  you name it in it .
I suppose that shop is gone as well
I keep watching the news and it just looks like an American movie

Is it because we have been there and seen what a lovely city it is

Take care all you folks

It is good to hear the police have locked up 2 ratbags for stealing generators

I'm glad they are taking a strict stance on it - people have been through trauma without that  :'(

That's good news about the looters.......   stick them in the stocks for a few days.   Actually, I'd shoot 'em, but them in charge wont let me!!!
