Put away your Pimm’s (did you even take it out this year?) and pull out your robust reds. The mercury is plummeting and any hopes we had of a late summer revival were barely fulfilled by a few brighter days during the school holidays. Still, the windy weather can be just as beautiful here on the Coast when you’re watching the waves pounding the shore and seeing the kite surfers rising up so high they could just about korero with Ranginui.
May starts with some big weekends this year. We have King Charles’ coronation on the first one and Mother’s Day on the next. In celebration of mums we share some local motherly reflections, we have several gift ideas for your mum (or yourself) and a couple of ideas for where to head out to lunch on the special day.
