Nelson Adam Festival

Nelson is a pretty place and just the right size for a pleasant existence. Big enough the house a school of music (what else is important?) but small enough to make driving and parking a dream, full of interesting shops and artsy people.

I am in Nelson for the 10 day Adam Chamber Music Festival which starts in a bit over an hour, staying a convenient two block stroll from the music hall.

The heat wave that has engulfed New Zealand had not  been so bad here, 26C and muggy but it cools down at  night. Just perfect for music making folk ( and everyone else).
