Winter in Christchurch

View from my kitchen window this morning (I did go outside though to make a proper picture, while it was minus 3 C) On the right you see the native NZ cabbage tree

  1. Kia ora Marja,
    It was frosty here too in the north island, and I was quite happy to dawdle in my warm bed, especially after charlie crept in for a cuddle! The Ruahines are covered white and look beautiful.
    Aroha,

  2. Yep that looks chilly, it was much the same here this morning and will be tomorrow. Brrr Still the day was lovely and warm so we went out on a winter picnic, very enjoyable in a quiet bay further down the Sounds.

  4. This photo makes me breathe deeply.
    I want to sip tea with you and look out of that window, too.

    Enjoy those winter days, as we slide into summer here.

  5. Fantastic picture, it reminds me of how much I loved the morning stillness and quiet as a kid in my hometown. This was back before everything got so rushed and crazy. You could walk out on the main highway and not see a car for a good while. Now the traffic is bumper to bumper in the morning.

  6. I did not see New Zealand in winter but when the time comes I want to see it. last winter when I was in New Zealand it was -20 celcius at night in Holland so the winter in New Zealand will be warm for me to.
