Vakatawase and more parties

from w
The season of New Year - or Vakatawase - is on-going with more dinner parties, picnics and barbecues. Last night we were in the delightful home and garden of Selai and Ken. Where do you think these photos were taken? Suva? Lautoka? Labasa? No. They were in Geelong but there are reminders of Fiji throughout the garden. The main difference is that there is no throwing buckets of water or banging tins for weeks on end.

And what do you do with those wooden souveniers - the carved knife, the face mask? Well, here they were attached to a pole of an outdoor shelter near a barbecue, and now there are three of them!
