Holi


If Diwali is the festival of lights then Holi is the festival for community! This year it was on Sunday 28th Feb. We went to the bonfire in our local park, into the fire we offered a variety of sacred ingredients, including three different coloured powders, incense sticks and a coconut etc... The smell of burning coconuts is something that we look forward to every year. Fire has never smelt so good! We always get a burnt coconut back from the fire, which we then share out amongst the family and eat. Sweet and warm coconut has never tasted so GOOD! We just smeared a bit of red powder (kum kum) on each others cheeks, no crazy colour fights broke out, we leave that to the young kids!
I would love to take you one year rabbit.
