Spring is officially here with baby ducks, daffodils, garden
plants for sale, cherry trees in blossom and spring daylight savings time starting
tonight.
We continue going to local markets. One is the Sunday Riccarton Raceway Market –
more of a flea market/fair atmosphere, with food vendors, music, kids play
areas and lots of families. We saw
potato swirls on a stick (we’re sure these are at the Minnesota State Fair).

One of the activities at the University eco week was the
ClimateKilometre Grand Parade. Only in
Christchurch would an inflatable penguin on a skateboard and a wizard be in the
same parade.
Cindy continues to go on weekly ventures with the
women’s tramping group. This past week
they went to Sumner, a coastal suburb of Christchurch, climbing up Flower Track
to Taylor’s Mistake and on to Boulder Bay.
Several original baches are built into the cliffs here, but many are no
longer usable. A bach (pronounced "batch")
is a small holiday or beach house.
At the end of the week we headed to Hagley Park to the
daffodil gardens.
