MY most recent new vendor relocated from Christchurch a few months ago, most of her family having gone to Australia but her parents are still there. She couldn't contain her tears yesterday and should have stayed away I think. She says it's like a new death happening every day and the fear is contant. So many people have, with this latest bout, declared it is just too much and will leave Christchurch for good now. A great shame but their nerves and very sanity can surely take only so much.
