Two weeks ago tomorrow, the nature of Christchurch New Zealand was changed forever. My first knowledge of the earthquake was in a text from my brother, received around 6 a.m., about 6 hours after the event.
A number of people here in the UK have asked me if I have family or friends in the city. I have friends, but have heard from almost all since the earthquake.
It's impossible to imagine how the city will recover, but it will, though perhaps with fewer people, a different configuration of houses and commercial space, new roads and old ones renewed.
We're supposed to go there briefly in April, to pick up a rental car and drive to Dunedin. This may have to change...
