APRIL UPDATE

For those of you who would like to explore the sad facts about our February Earthquake, below are a few links because we are out of the news loop now and for many of you this info is all new.
The 14 min Video is very moving and sad as it shows the broken heart of our beloved city.

My Picasa Web album  shows Christchurch in its recent former glory - compare and rejoice that you have seen it at its best. https://picasaweb.google.com/weston.house/CULTURALPRECINCT10MINSWALKToTHEWESTONHOUSE#

The Weston House is looking very sad but we are not allowed in currently, as our area is part of the cordoned off part of the city.The bureaucraps are dithering and we are no further ahead than we were on 22 Feb.
We are staying with wonderful patient friends and will house sit for them when they head to the UK after Easter.
We have been deluged with invitations from all over the world to come and stay - in fact we may never move back home (just kidding)...but look for us in a town near you....and keep a couple of bottles of NZ Sav Blanc in your fridge just in case we arrive on you doorstep...drink and replace regularly as this is not a wine for cellaring .....now this way you are prepared for us and stocked with good wine for yourselves - a 'win-win' in every way.

Now for those links....
