looking back

so here it is.... the photos i've been saving coz i wanted to make a collage... with brief comments along the way...

Christchurch is known as the Garden City, so it is only appropriate that it would have the prettiest gardens and loveliest blooms. i remember when i first came here it was a big disappointment that the Garden City was so bare, brown and cold. not at all what i was expecting and came not to expect more of it on my return, but i was wrong.

as soon as the weather grew warm and sunny, blossoms started coming out, gardens came to life and the long wait for the roses was so worth it!

The CAT SHOW

i don't think i've ever seen that many cats in one place! the cats were grouped according to their breeds and were evaluated for things like the texture of their fur, their eyes, their personality, the paws, teeth and everything that matters to a cat, basically. a lot of them are so pampered they have matching toys, towels, pillows, mat... oh the whole lot!


the smell wasn't that good but it was such a treat to be around lots of cute cats! we even got to stroke some of the friendly cats through their cage!

SANTA Parade

i know it's a bit late for the Santa Parade photos but i did say these photos are all long, long overdue!

i had fun chasing after the floats around town with martin's mum and dad.

there are more photos collages to come... bear with me. i just need to take it out of my system. (that and... yeah ok, i didn't take all those photos for nothing!)
