Sunday Walk

After taking my community out to midday dinner and getting them safely home, Yesterday, I went for a Sunday walk which took me to Hagley Park. Hagley Park is near the middle of Christchurch and modelled on the parks near central London.

To my surprise, I saw soccer matches going comprised of different nationalities. Zimbabians were playing Japanese, Ethiopeans were playing a mixed team and Afghanies were waiting for a game. I didn't know we had so many people in Christchurch from such countries. It was great to see. Pictured are Ethiopeans, who explained to me the 'ethnic' football competition.
Then I moved along and met this tourist from Scotland who was watching the soccer matches. We talked about her travels on this side of the world and she said, "Christchurch is very English." And that statement comes from a Glasgow Lass.



I returned home to welcome Frank (84), the last member of our community to his Christmas holiday. He was concerned because his 80 year old brother was to go into hospital today for an operation for cancer on his neck. So we will be having a few trips this week to the public hospital which is a couple of kilometres away.
