May's editorial
To outsiders, Christchurch could be seen as a sluggish city with a glacial pace of change. A city about as exciting as cold porridge. Those of us who live here know differently. It’s a city that has undergone colossal change in the 15 years I’ve lived here – almost all of it for the better.
April's news
Two big shows have been enthralling Christchurch lately. There’s been the garden mania at the Ellerslie International Flower Show and, for court watchers, the Bain retrial. However, I’ve been busy with another sideshow, which will one day have its own sequel in court. Or so I’m hoping.
