On Tuesday 22 February 2011, a devastating 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch, New Zealand killing around 100 people and injuring around 2,500. In its wake it left a catalogue of human tragedy, suffering and a city in ruins.
The trauma is far from over. Over 150 aftershocks have continued to rock the city, over 2000 people have been displaced, many are now living in tent cities. Of those with houses, most are heavily damaged, without water, electricity and sanitation. The elderly are struggling to cope with circumstances even the young are finding a challenge.
For nearly 3 years Kathryn & I lived in Sumner, Christchurch very close to the epicentre of the quake. We know lots of people affected by the quake.
Rather than sit back and watch report after report we want to do something to help the cities people.
Sponsored 6.3 mile earthquake run
Next weekend we are going to do a sponsored 6.3 mile run in aid of the Red Cross New Zealand Earthquake Appeal.

Having lived in Christchurch for nearly 3 years and formed a huge bond with the place and New Zealand I have been struck to the core over the recent earthquake. So many people hurt, many lives shattered and beautiful heritage buildings no more than dusty ruins.
Now some time has passed since the initial shocks a more representative picture of what has happened is emerging on the web. With so many people having a connection with this beautiful city around the world I thought I would collate some links to information and images I found useful and interesting.
One of New Zealand's finest architectural jewels has been reduced to rubble. Gut wrenching.

Brookside nursery, Poynton is a regular haunt of ours, our daughter loves the narrow gauge railway. The main cafe is expensive and frankly bad. Little did we realise tucked at the back of the garden centre is a fantastic authentic Italian cafe and their coffee is simply unbeatable.
Not suitable for toddlers but a refreshing change to see something which stimulates the older ones.
I'm hardly a car lover, I found myself this week having to face the arduous task of buying a second hand car. This time round I was far better equipped thanks to iPhone, Autotrader and Parkers guide iPhone apps.
The real hero, Parkers, translated horribly complex tables in the printed version featuring hideous mileage conversion tables into a slick, easy to use iOs interface. At £5.99 costly but worth every single penny.
