Deadlines are always a bit stressful, but this one has been a double whammyas I await the imminent birth of my baby grandaughter, Georgina Raewyn Watson. So very exciting!
Outside the crickets are chirping away as we bask in the last few warm days of summer.
Already the elms and poplarsare starting to turn colour to reveal the splendour of the Autumn colours that will dot the landscape.
March will be a busy month here and with several events happening it’s time for fairs, balloons, festivals, walking in the leaves, celebrating the harvest and lots more, so be sure to bookmark your calendar.
This issue we feature a special 24 page Wedding section showcasing the magnificence of the Wairarapa as the ideal place to be married. It’s a ‘must read’ for those planning a wedding and the vast array of venues and professionals are guaranteed to make the day so very special.
There are lots of interesting articles about enterprising people who call the Wairarapa home and make it such a unique place to live.
My sincere thanks to the advertisers and contributors who have supported the magazine, without them it would not be possible to publish this and future issues. I hope you enjoy this issue and will see you again in Winter. Cheers Raewyn.
