All in the van with our equipment
Every year we go on our annual Holi Boli Christmas Picnic. We load up the van with people, uncooked food, pots and firewood. There is not a single space left in the van. We are peas in a pod bursting at the seems. I am not sure that it meets western safety standards but it does meet our standard of fun. LOL. We drive down to the local river and find us a great...

2018 August - New Zealand Fashion Weekend Here We Come!
Exciting Holi Boli news....Wow! It is amazing how life turns out.
