Being Church is our Calling.
The Kingdom of God is our Glorious Hope.
Spring has been early in Christchurch. The daffodils, hyacinths and crocuses have been beautiful, but are fading now. Freesias are budding. The tulips are bursting out.
Apart from one storm that brought snow, we have had a very mild winter and spring has come early. Rhododendrons and Camellias do well in Christchurch, and they have bloomed really well this year.
This is one outside our neighbour’s house. I snapped it nearly a month ago.
This is ours. It is on the shady side of the house, so it is a bit later, but it is blooming beautifully.
Spring has arrived in Christchurch.
This is the rhododendron that we brought with us when we moved to a different house in July. It seems to be very happy in its new place.
This camellia that came with it is beginning to flower too. I will have to keep the water up to them when it gets dry in the summer, but the move has been successful.
The bright colours of polyanthus are very cheerful.
