Advent with Julian of Norwich: Fear, Hope and Love
In 1373 a young woman lay dying and as the priest held a crucifix before her eyes to give her the last rites, she describes how the room darkened and she received a series of sixteen showings that she called a revelation of love. The woman was Julian of Norwich. We would not have known anything about her revelatory experience if she had not then written them down. This Quiet Day focusses on key passages from the long version of her text, 
Revelations of Divine Love
, which address the Advent themes of fear, hope and love. In a world not dissimilar to our own, Julian sought to speak into an age of violence, pandemic, civil unrest and church instability to reassure those who sought God that he was close by them, sharing their sufferings and anguish, but also to reveal the truth of the unending love of Christ in which we can hope, trust and live ‘life in all its fullness’.
The quiet day is led by Canon Emma and held in the Jesus Chapel, in the Eastern Crypt from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday 29th November. With an opportunity to reflect on the beauty of creation and our place within in it using the peaceful space of All Saints Chapel, and the Quiet garden in No 15.
There will be a lunch break during the event; you are welcome to bring your own refreshments to enjoy in the grounds of the Cathedral, or there are many local cafes and eateries to choose from just outside the Christ Church Gate.
The cost of the day is £12. If you are on universal credit or have refugee status, please contact the Events Office directly via 
events@canterbury-cathedral.org
 and they will assist you to access the event for free (upon verification of status).

Super lucky to see 3 whales in the beginning of my trip. What a day!

I think this place is quite fun. It&#39;s right next to the airport parking lot. I stopped by before returning my car to Christchurch Airport and enjoyed free parking. The tickets I bought on Ctrip were very convenient to show directly. The entire tour lasted about two hours. I rode a polar car, experienced an Antarctic storm, watched a 4D movie, and saw penguins and sled dogs.

The airline was incredibly lax. We received an email at 11:57 a.m. local time notifying us of the cancellation. We were already halfway there at the time, scheduled to check in at 1:30 p.m., but we were running out of time. No other airline in the same building had a suitable flight, so we opted for a 30-minute helicopter flight. While the experience wasn&#39;t perfect, it was still acceptable. Thank you to Ctrip for handling the situation.

The Church of the Good Shepherd

The stone church is only the size of a classroom, but when you push the door open, wow, the whole milky blue lake and snow-capped mountains are right in front of the French window, like a postcard come alive. The old stones on the wall hurt my hands, but the tour guide said it was built in 1935, and I immediately felt that the broken stones were fairy-like. 

I bumped into the bronze statue of a shepherd dog at the corner, and its nose was shiny (it was touched), and then I knew that the church was built to thank the shepherd dog for helping to open up the wasteland. Suddenly I understood why the locals have such pious eyes. When I squatted by the lake and ate a sandwich, lupine rubbed against my trouser legs (only in the right season), the lake was so clear that I could count the stones, and the reflection of the snow-capped mountains in the distance was swaying - what kind of internet celebrity check-in, it&rsquo;s better to be in a daze for a while, cool! 

&gt; Tips: If you want to take empty shots, you have to get up early, because once the tour group arrives, it&rsquo;s full of people. You are not allowed to take pictures inside, but your eyes remember better than the lens, and the lake and mountains seen from that window are amazing!

Christchurch Botanic Gardens

Christchurch Botanical Garden is a fascinating place! Entering the garden, it seems to be in a green fairy tale world. In the rose garden, more than 250 roses bloom, colorful and aromatic. Walking on the trail, you can see the Avon River flowing quietly, and there are light boats rowing across the river from time to time. There are also various theme gardens in the park, such as vanilla garden and Shiqi garden, each with a unique scenery. This is not only a paradise for plants, but also a good place to relax and let people linger.
