In Praise
It’s an honour to be a citizen of Wellington, New Zealand.
The Editor of The Dominion Post said this about us in a recent editorial (April 30, 2016):
“We’re big enough to acknowledge that people don’t come to the coolest little capital on earth for the weather; they come despite it. They come because they are lively people, the brightest and most creative in the country, who so to speak carry their own personal weather system about with them.
“In Wellington, the warmth comes from within ... Wellington people are serious, focused, purposeful and above all tough. We flourish in the teeth of the gale.”
For all that, we’re having a glorious autumn – lots of sunshine, less rain and wind than usual, and the forecasters promise us a milder than average winter. Gliobal warming has that small upside.
