Hey neighbours,

The story of Aotearoa’s art history cannot be told without mentioning Bill Hammond’s work, Arts Minister Carmel Sepuloni said of the exalted artist following his death.

Hammond, one of New Zealand’s leading artists, was a legendary figure in his home in the port town of Lyttelton, just outside Christchurch.

One of his best known works, Fall of Icarus, is displayed at the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū.

Were you familiar with Hammond, or his work?

A suburban park with a feather of warm wind carving a wave in the grass and a view of Christchurch's Port Hills beyond. A handful of string tightly held. Eyes skyward and a kite delicately dancing in mid-air.

Julie Adam​ has spent a lifetime enjoying these whimsical pleasures. Many know her simply as “the kite lady”.

“I have been flying kites about 60 years,” she says. “There's a picture of me in my pram with a kite tied to it.”

Do you recognise Julie from her kite-flying?

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
