shattered

It has been a terribly surreal day.

This morning I started a new job tutoring students at an inner-city cooking school in Christchurch. I had just stepped outside the front door of the 3-storey building when it felt as though a bomb exploded. Smashed glass, cracking and crumbling buildings, dust clouds, gushing water surrounded us.

Thanks to 'Tania' whose car I randomly hopped into and who delivered me closer to home and my precious Daisy. Thankfully our family is all safe.

Love and tears to those who were not so lucky today. I am painfully aware that your life can change forever in an instant, and I hate that we have been so harshly reminded of that today. Kia kaha Christchurch xx
