Christchurch – Part 2

Posted on by ghotiindustries

Into the museum and we discovered a Banksy exhibition was on. I’ve been a fan of Banksy for quite a few years now, I enjoy his take on social commentary.

The museum and city of Christchurch are hosting a wider exhibition on graffiti and street art. Given that the Art Gallery is closed owning to earthquake damage, the city is making good use of all it’s large blank canvasses in the form of big blank walls, and there is a lot of art to be found just driving around. But I’ll get to that in later posts. Would you like to know more?

New Zealand – Christchurch

We’ve been on a trip! From where we are now, it was a long trip. It is quite the odd experience to sit on a plane and watch the days collapse into each other, as you sit there for a night, a day, another night, and most of the next day …

Five security check in 36 hours. It was a little draining. We arrived to see the best the Christchurch could offer us! Would you like to know more?

It’s November! It must be that time again! Time for me to show you what I’ve been finding in stores since September! (Yes, really.)

Honestly? I’ve found a lot of the stores to be a little lacklustre this year. It’s been a little disappointing. But I’ve pulled out the best for you! (Psst! The best was from Fortnum & Mason.) Would you like to know more?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the ticket I bought on Platform 9 ¾ didn’t get me to Hogwarts, but I did get there.

I took myself and our Dear Hostess off for a tour of the Leavesdon Studios. Partly in thanks for her hospitality, and partly because I’m a massive fan girl. I’m at peace with this information. Would you like to know more?

London – Part 9

I am going to begin the end tale by ramping up slowly for you, as the day itself began quite slowly. Well, it did for me. Himself was off on his Conference and out the door early again. I woke up, and lolled for a while. Met the new boyfriend of the Hostess. Did some knitting … It’s me. I’m exciting.

But as the morning warmed up and the sun shone down upon us, we took action and headed for the Regents Park with some pieces of bread in a plastic bag. We were on a mission.

A thoroughly successful one if I do say so myself! Would you like to know more?
