Just as we begin to prepare to leave, Christchurch turns to spring. This morning as I walked to work with the sun rising over the hills (it's great just to get a chance to walk to work in the light)I saw a small bunch of daffodils along the edge of the road in full yellow bloom. This splash of colour was wonderfully refreshing.
Further along the road there was a flowering tree in full bloom. I have no idea what sort of tree this was, but it was beautiful. I'm thinking I should visit the botanical gardens this weekend before I leave.
It is a little depressing that I will be soon leaving the new birth of spring and returning to a place where we are slowly sliding towards winter. Nevertheless, I am definitely looking forward to coming home. [For those that don't know, my flight home is on the 29th].
