Harmony and Emotional Balance

 I was going to go for a walk after my Hydrotherapy and Physiotherapy appointments this morning but the dull grey sky's put me off..so I just come home. It hasn't been cold and the sun do show its face very briefly this afternoon.

In my garden the Fairy Primula was looking very beautiful covered in its pale magenta coloured flowers with little yellow centres. I thought it would make a colourful blip. Primula comes from the Latin word “primus” meaning first. In their wild habitat they are among the first of the spring plants to flower.

The colour magenta means universal harmony and emotional balance. It is spiritual yet practical, encouraging common sense and a balanced outlook on life.

There was an article in the newspaper today which I thought was interesting about a New Zealand Eden project in the Red Zone of the city.

Taken from the article.
Eden NZ would be modelled on The Eden Project UK in Cornwall but with a unique Kiwi flavour. They are thinking about having it in the Avon Loop red zone between Barbardoes Street and Fitzgerald Avenue.

Eden NZ modelled on The Eden Project UK in Cornwall “but with a unique Kiwi flavour” is being touted for the Avon Loop red zone between Barbardoes Street and Fitzgerald Avenue.

Eden NZ spokesperson, Professor of Tourism David Simmons, describes the project as an “iconic community science facility using sculptural wow-factor buildings set in green space and native vegetation.”

"This is a destination tourism project for the recovery of Christchurch and the benefit of New Zealand partnered with The Eden Project UK as part of their global outreach strategy.

"The key themes are land and water from the Mountains to the Sea - Ki Uta Ki Tai -and its focus will be nature, culture, science, community and tourism”, says Simmons.

The facility would include meeting and events spaces, education centre, multi-purpose function and entertainment centre, outdoor amphitheatre, outdoor exhibition and festival site and quality retail and hospitality.

"Located in the Avon Loop it will provide easy access to visitors staying in the central city while providing a gateway and ‘compass’ directing visitors to other attractions located on red zone land to the East.

I do hope it gets the green light!
