G’day everyone! It’s February already. I’m sure everyone has had a good month in January. I have but ended up with a flu cough, which I am trying to get rid of. But hey, that ain’t stopping me from doing this.
By the way, Happy Valentine’s everyone! I’m sure on Valentine’s every girl can’t wait to see what goodies they get from their man! I know I can’t wait myself.
If anyone has any ideas on things they’d like to see in this guide, or if there is something about you’ve heard about Christchurch that you’d like more information on, email jessicar@xtra.co.nz and I’ll see what can be done!
