Blipmeet

A lovely time spent with some wonderful blippers and mums at our Christchurch Blipmeet. Blue sky, hot sun and great company - it was fun.

We enjoyed a picnic along with a stroll through the huge grounds of the Halswell Quarry, an area redeveloped with wetlands and native NZ plants and some gardens representing our sister cities: Adelaide (South Australia), Christchurch (England), Gansu Province (China), Kurashiki (Japan), Seattle (USA) and Songpa-Gu (Seoul, Korea).

The quarry was first worked in the 1860's and produced a fine and distinctive blue-grey stone which many of the city's prominent buildings were made of including the Canterbury Museum, which remains standing after the earthquakes.

Many thanks to karenjulia for organising our day :))

Better fly and get some tea organised, hubby should be home soon. Have a great weekend all :)
