I love Wellington all year round – but I really love Wellington in that little space between Christmas and New Year’s (actually for most of January, even). The stuffiness of the city goes on holiday, Lambton end is all but shut-down, the office-workers plan their holiday for the year and the rest of the city’s on cruise-control and with great weather too. So what better way to return from my week in the Bay than to play a bunch of my favourite songs on the decks at the San Fran and enjoy a few beers…there were people playing darts, having snacks, watching the day amble by from that great balcony and making the most of the great, late afternoon sun.
