Cherry blossom in Harper Avenue
The cherry blossom’s out, so today we walked in Hagley Park, rather than on the beach.
Our path took us through the golf course and the Botanic Gardens, past a talking tree, to the Daffodil lawns. The talking tree was an artwork Post Hoc by Dane Mitchell. It’s actually a stealth cell-tower tree which continually broadcasts lists of millions of lost things. There are three of these trees in the central city until 1 November.
We went to the Arts Centre in search of coffee and came across the Harbour Singers, part of the weekend’s Songfest. After a restorative hot chocolate at The Lucky Cup we headed back to the car and a restful afternoon.
We had not expected to see

I am glad these cherry trees are not among the lost things of this world.

Me too! Some new trees have been planted among the old to ensure continuity.

Oh that is good. I drove by the other day but the blossom wasn’t quite in full bloom.

I love Christchurch at this time of year with the blossom and fresh green colour of the foliage. The magnolias seem especially beautiful this year.

Yes, there’s a lovely magnolia on Salisbury which thrills me every time I drive past.
