I lived in Christchurch for a few years and have very fond memories of it so it was lovely to see it. I was on a plane back to England the day of the first earthquake so missed it, everything looks so different now in the centre. I worked in the old Victorian art centre, great times there and in Hagley Park.
Thanks for another great 'out and about' ramble! 😃 Christchurch seems like a lovely place. It was really wonderful to see so many happy people enjoying their day. What an interesting gentleman the man with the flute is and his story of how he was called to it. I'm glad he followed his intuition and brought it. It seems to have given him much joy. Hope you had a great time exploring and you found the book shop! 😃
I DID find the bookshop - for new; and a wonderful one for old... though THAT one was a long walk away. Due to the re-design a lot of smaller businesses moved out to the 'burbs. Thanks!
Welcome! I'd love to know if you watch - please, leave a comment!
I love your rambles! So beautiful!
Thanks!
I love your celebration of place, marvellous, thanks for sharing this.
That you, Phillip. I also appreciate y9our feedback. How's things?
@@book-ramble: I'm great. About to upload a new video, & just home from the blood bank, so feel a million bucks.

Watching Mark, love your beautiful scenic videos! Hope you are well sir!
I see your new icon... lol. Yes, all is well here. Spring. And I work in a chocolate shop. So, even better! How's it your way?

Nice! Yes, so much lost; but at least they didn't try to remake it [and create Ankh-Morpork II] lol .

I'm pleased to hear that you found the book shops. Hope you enjoyed browsing.😃📖
@@zoenorman9846 A book haul incoming...
Great! I'm looking forward to hearing about your new books 📖😃
Looks like a nice city despite its rough run of recent history. American cities are often quite unsafe which makes me sad.
CCH is nice... the locals are resilient to say the least. It is a shame what has happened States-side. A lesson to all, there.
