Maramataka
Whether you're a September 1 or 21 kind of person when it comes to the official start of spring, rest assured the weather won't necessarily go along with either. The seasons will unfold as they will, paying no attention to our efforts to constrain them for convenience. One of the best-known seasonal rules is we have three months of each – with a sudden change, not far short of miraculous, to the next season on the first days of September, December, March and June.

Spring in Wellington drives me crazy - STUFF OPINION PIECE. Spring is supposed to be the season of new beginnings, but here in Wellington, it's the beginning of hell. I'm a proud Wellingtonian, loyal to the city that has been my home for two decades. I love the coffee, the people, our world-class restaurants and running on Wellington's trails. But I've endured too many springs to defend the season that signals the dawn of the new. Opinion Piece, World Class, Drive Me Crazy, Two Decades, New Beginnings, Loyal
