Strawberries For You Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch # 91

"Strawberry Lou"

Good morning everyone, well what a week in New Zealand's history and how so much can change in a matter of minutes that can effect all of our lives.  Well a week has passed and there have been no new rescues of survivors out of last weeks Earth Quake that struck Christchurch.  I found out the following day that my brother was in Christchurch that day on a business trip, thank goodness they decided not to have a second coffee at a cafe that was totally destroyed.  It was a matter of leaving 5 minutes earlier for the airport.  He was just in the right place at the right time.

Last night at 10.10pm there was another Earth Quake this time in the North Island situated in Wellington which is about an 8 hour drive from where I live.    Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and also has our Parliament Buildings there.  They are predicting another large quake about the 20th of March so watch this space..............................

It's still very warm in the North Island and we are still having lovely hot summers days but yesterday was the first official day of autumn which only means winter is on it's way and I'm not looking forward too.  It's another Wednesday and that mean it's another
