Last weekend we had our local food festival or Kai festival as it is known here in New Zealand.
People came from all over to sample the traditional and not so traditional food that was being served.
We set up our tent there and spent a great day being part of the local scene.
The weather wasn't the greatest, but that didn't seem to slow down the delivery of fine food or inhibit the great music.
Those of you familiar with Bwana Johns will recognise some of the clothes and jewellery in these photos.

The Kai festival was held in Kawhia a small town at the end of the road sitting on the shores of a large west coast harbour.
The music played in the park, and as you can see the sun did shine through for some of the day.
Our favourite group on stage - Holly and the Blue Benders. I'm not just saying that because they are friends.
These kids were pretty talented too.
Lots and lots of food.
But my favourite has to be the wok cooked mussels. The whole process is very dramatic, and the end result is very yummy.
Not sure this is traditional, but the water melon and ice cream was a great way to finish to the meal.
