The buildings do look good don't they. At first I was disappointed that it wouldn't be a funky container mall like ReStart, but now that it is finished it sits really well with Rangiora's rural focus.

They are vulnerable to all sorts of attrocities according to a newspaper report the other day: drowning, theft, decorating cars and buildings, being decorated! Not to mention being plain run over. They are costing the contractors a fortune to replace apparently but they are certainly part of Canterbury's post-Earthquake identity.<br /><br />libby: It is that hope and patience that helps me not to sell up and come to live in England!
