We had a rollicking ride for the first week of La Fiesta number 12.
With our old friend Covid-19 back in the picture at the beginning of last week, we made a few adjustments to our festival events with a small number being postponed due to the restrictions on numbers and space under alert Level 2.
However, like all good things in life, we had a contingency plan in place to prepare for this so we had a reasonably smooth transition thanks to the understanding of our festival partners and the co-operation of our participants.

Whanganui Literary Festival will be held later this year.
The biennial event attracts authors, writers and readers eager to impart and absorb knowledge of their chosen craft.
The 11 members of the Whanganui Literary Festival Trust and committee have been organising authors and preparing a programme well in advance of the September / October festival.
Trust chairwoman Mary-Ann Ewing says nine authors have accepted an invitation to speak at the event.
