Welcome to the new year! Summer has come to the party in a way that reminds me
of the ones we used to get when I was a kid, those golden New Zealand events that
have, over time, attained an almost mythical status: so did they really happen, or was
I just imagining it? Perhaps this is the proof, finally, that they can, and did. So cheers
to all you happy campers who finally got a rain-free stay beneath the Pohutukawas
with no wringing out of sodden belongings afterwards. Hopefully it’s the harbinger
of a happy and prosperous year ahead for all of us.
