The second Greater Wellington
Brewday was held in Martinborough
yesterday. Andy and I (together with a few hundred more) attended on a
beautiful warm, sunny autumn afternoon.
They even had a Bavarian style
oompah band - if only Nico and his siblings were here now they would feel right at home!
I sampled a good half dozen brews, one of the best was Dogg (an English style mild) from
Parrot Dog.
There were a number of girls out taking part in
hen parties. This bride-to-be claimed to know Andy, or it may have just been the beer talking.
Finally, I looked up information on some of the sculptures I posted last week.
Eternal Families by Ganesh Cherian
These are made of granite and based on the Maori symbol of ‘eternity’. The figures represent mother, father and children.
Moko Moko by Joe Kemp
It is made of swamp totara root. Moko Moko is a mythical creature that roamed Aotearoa a thousand years ago. It was an amphibious leaf eater capable of great speed.
