In some places, us parents dread the winter holidays when there's nothing to do and the empty days stretch ominously unfilled into the distant horizon. But here in Christchurch the council puts on Kids Fest which fills the days up with stuff.
Yesterday they had a bouncy castle and face painting event in the car park at Rolleston Square shopping centre. And then we went to the lantern parade in Christchurch which was unexpectedly good. Hundreds of people turned up and followed a giant blue sun starlantern thing to Cathedral Square for a free sausage sizzle event. The salsa band from the school of music came along and provided drum and trumpet noise. All the kids brought torches or paper lanterns.
