Calm

It’s been a week of appointments and lots of just the usual but it’s a calm space before next week which will be full on, in a good way. I’m gearing up for a trip to Taranaki for Te Matatini, the biannual kapa haka competition/festival and can’t wait. It’s going to be massive!

Fair Haul

The Petone Fair was on yesterday and while I did my best to support local traders and makers it was a smaller haul this year. Still super happy and it was a glorious day. 

Summer?

Thursday was Waitangi Day and Wellington put on one of its famous Good Days. 

We’ve actually had a string of good days so there’s a quiet feeling of optimism that summer might have arrived. 

It Begins!

First fry bread of the festival season at Te Rā o te Raukura. All the food groups covered; carbs, sugar (golden syrup) and a nod to nutrition in the form of calcium aka a proper wodge of butter. 

This is a warm up for the Petone Fair, Te Matatini and Womad, all nicely spaced out between now and mid March.
