Avebury House was the place to be today, as we celebrate the season of Matariki, a time to farewell the old and welcome in the new. There were lots of displays and many activities for children.
The Richmond Community Garden behind the house has been revived and expanded since the earthquakes, and even at the beginning of winter it’s looking good.
I was impressed that plates and cutlery for the community hangi were all going to be composted.
It was great that so many people made the detour around the roadworks to join in this community event.
“Although the roads around are creaky
there was a crowd for Matariki.”
I didnt go because of a prior engagement .. was there enuff food for everyone??

We didn’t stay long enough to find out, but I think they’d catered for 500.
