Summer Solstice

These sunflowers make a perfect symbol for the Summer Solstice.

The weather here’s been ideal for a traditional summer holiday – very warm, with temperatures in the high twenties.  It feels like midsummer.

This is the time of year when we celebrate fullness and achievement.  Many in Christchurch find our greatest achievement is to have survived another year of uncertainty.  We look forward to the new year and hope to see the birth and blossoming of a new city.

“What will twenty thirteen bring here?
We hope our future may be clear.”
