Editor’s Note Issue Seventy Four, June 2014
Crack an egg on your car bonnet and I’m pretty sure it’ll fry in Dubai right now. Yes, it’s that time of the year where the mercury rises to over 40 degrees Celsius and people like me moan. Moan about the weather, moan about the humidity and moan about their al fresco-living lifestyle being confined to the great indoors. So to keep my grumblings at bay, the team at WT has pulled together an issue brimful of inspiring destinations to see me (and you) through the start of summer. First up is Provence. Our writer Anthony Peregrine heads to Arles and Avignon for Europe’s biggest (and rather bizarre) theatre event, before a pregnant Liz Edwards grows up for good and before ‘two’s company’ becomes ‘three’s a crowd finds her Neverland in Mexico. Active readers should turn to page 44 and follow WT on a bicycle tour around some of New Zealand’s breathtaking landscape, while for something closer to home check out our Weekends section, which is packed with shorthaul ideas and essentials. As for me, you’ll find me indoors, next to the fan, wishing it were winter already. Enjoy the issue! 2
