Wie geht's?
Jacky and I enjoyed a date night last week at a Readers & Writers event as part of this year's Hawke's Bay Arts Festival. Both authors (Diana Wichtel and Ali Mau) read from their recent work - Unreel (Diana), No Words For This (Ali).
It was great to see an old friend (Diana) and hear them both talk about their creative process. I had previously bought both of Di's books, but I also seized the opportunity to buy Ali's memoir book about her family.
This part of Hastings by the Opera House has really improved its ambience. On the night we visited from Maple Grove, there were portrait artists, a live band, shops open beyond their stated trading hours (go you good thing Little Red Bookshop) and loads of families enjoying a Rush Munroe's iced cream on a warm Friday evening in town.
Lovely warm fuzzy feelings!
Love and peace - Wozza
