But he would have found it impossible to "wander lonely as a cloud" at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens on September 19, 1948.
A Sunday stroll in the gardens has long been a ritual for Christchurch folk but the daffodil lawn has attracted more than the usual crowds this Sunday. It is the 10th anniversary of the annual Daffodil Day observance.
Framed by the band rotunda, left, and Avon River footbridge, right, people celebrate the occasion in their Sunday best.

The Press has teamed up with the Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust on its Te Ahu Pātiki project, to help raise enough money to buy a 500-hectare block between Mt Herbert and Mt Bradley.
The aim is to make sure the public will always have access to a sprawling network of popular walking tracks, and to let the whole block return to native bush.
A Givealittle page was launched this morning to help the trust overcome its last hurdle. Click the links below to read the full story and donate.

After not receiving a Star newspaper for several weeks I sent an Email to them on the 03/04/2021, I received a reply asking if I had a "No Rubbish" notice on my letter box which is a negative and I informed them of such. Since then the situation hasn't changed. I am now wondering how many other addresses are not being delivered too and if you were an advertiser paying many dollars to get your message out to greater ChCh , would you feel like you are wasting your money?

As a reminder, here is the map that preceded the current system adopted from 2016 - after which divided communities began raising complaint against the new council of 17 members then divisively brought in, now under review.
This is certainly one of the more obvious errors in a child’s writing. Knowing which one to use can be confusing.

It said neighbours had raised concerns about the size of the garden and access to a washing line.
Wang had lovingly tended the garden at her Addington social housing unit for the past 10 years. She grew 14 kinds of vegetables and 13 varieties of rare Chinese herbs. One small patch of Chinese radish remains.
ŌCHT has “unreservedly apologised” for not telling Wang it planned to bring the digger in on Monday, but it stands by its decision to turn the garden into grass.
However, on Wednesday, ŌCHT tenancy operations manager Martin Pearce said the trust wanted to make things right and raised beds would be installed at the end of this week.

Here the girls go through their drills, demonstrating surprising precision for so many pupils from so many schools. The open-air movement has highlighted the need for physical fitness training and the virtues of outdoor activity. Schools have responded with regular drill sessions and outdoor games. With increasing numbers of children seen to be destined for sedentary lifestyles, and with the British Empire at war with the Axis forces, fitness and hardiness are being strongly promoted.
Hi neighbours,
Cleaning your windows should be a regular routine as having a build-up of dirt and other filth can lead to problems further down the road and potentially cost you more money, and heat efficiency.

Cleaning your windows should be a regular routine as having a build-up of dirt and other filth can lead to problems further down the road and potentially cost you more money, and heat efficiency.
You can keep your new windows looking their best for many years by following a few simple tips:
- Vacuum inside the frame and hinges
- Brush off dirt
- Use a warm soapy solution and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the dirty window
- Rinse with clean water
Windows have working parts so it's essential that these parts are well maintained to ease the friction of the moving parts inside your window frames.
To keep your windows in great condition for years it's best to keep the inner chambers of your windows clean and clear of built-up residue.
If you need an expert to assess your windows & doors, give us a call today on 0800 252500 or click the link to book a visit!
