[Image credit - Me!]The wild winds of Spring have descended on Captial City today. It's crazy. Yesterday was gorgeous, but today we have gale force winds, rain and grey sky all round. You'd think I'd hate it but really I don't, quite the opposite in fact - it's really rather inspiring. I've only been living here for two years but there is something about this city that speaks to me. I feel at home here and as though I have roots. There is a fantastic quote by Kate Camp (a Wellingtonian writer and lit critic) that sums up Wellington perfectly:
"Like a beautiful, moody lover, Wellington doesn't need to treat you kindly. Your friends sometimes wonder what you see in it, but when the city is good to you, with its days of almost painful gorgeousness and clarity, you can forgive its bluster, its temper tantrums and cold shoulder. You may be clutching a lamppost, but at least you know you're alive."

Wow that really does sum up Wellington perfectly! Gorgeous. I love Wellington so much. The wild weather helped me sleep last night :)
Great picture! I'm glad your enjoying where your living. It would be bad if you were unhappy! This place looks and sounds very nice.
Take Care!

(ooh, may it be alright if I stole your idea for my next layout?)
