Woke up this morning to the sad news of the New Zealand earthquake. Thankfully, there seem to have been no fatalities. We visited Christchurch a few years ago; I’ve maintained ever since  that it’s the most English city I’ve ever seen, including any in England. I hope that it and its inhabitants recover quickly and that  the damage proves to be superficial rather than irreparably severe. Good luck, one and all.
