Cycling

 


This is the season (Summer) where it's good to see children outside doing activities like cycling - this photo was taken on the outskirts of Christchurch in Darfield. It's a shame that so many these days are stuck to electronic devices.

We spent most of our lives outside whenever we could as children.

Summer sunshine gets most kids outside thank goodness, cycling, fishing, swimming with their friends. Phones come second. Here anyway

In severe heat, one can only get out during sunrise or sunset

I love to see young people out and about doing physical things.

And this one is named Mrs Slocombe.

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
