NZ's just had a long weekend - the sort of thing just made for a folk festival - and that's exactly what happens in Wellington! The Wellington Folk Festival finished a few hours ago: about a 1000 people gathered up a small valley in the hills, the cold evenings warmed with revelry and music. About 200 crammed into a small hall where the big game was screened, and what a blast it was! Great craic, a hard game fought well, and - of course - a fantastic result! Many NZ'ers still haven't forgiven the French government for its 1985 terrorist activity in the Auckland harbour, when a ship was bombed and sunk with the loss of a life. These wins don't make things better, but it sure does feel great! La Bomb!
