The Living Springs Wedding with Mush & Jared in Christchurch
I flew down from Auckland on a Monday night for Mush and Jared’s wedding. A good friend of mine picked me up from the airport and drove me back to his place, and on the way there a flood of memories came rushing back of the old Christchurch I knew during my time as a [...]
