Silly boy! Don't ask "What is a Folf?"

Ask "What ARE Folf?"

Best of luck with your weekend, Mr. Red.

Celebrating St Georges Day in Canada, in a pub called The Golden Kiwi. Very odd! But very international.

I shall be a long way away on the day where they don't have any saints, but I will be thinking of you all. Have a great day - everywhere!

The Golden Kiwi used to be the main NZ lottery, now replaced by LOTTO.
I wonder if the builders of your pub were lottery winners?
Any Kiwis in the area?
Is it near Kamloops? Leo Ready went there when he left Christchurch many years ago.

The Golden Kiwi is a pub in Galt (part of Cambridge) Ontario.
It is owned by Len an ex pat Kiwi (New Zealander).
Brad is the Artistic Director of Millrace Folk Festival and organizes many more events throughout the year in the area.
I could not make it tonight but hope to be there tomorrow, without our Morris side Orange Peel Morris who could not get enough people out. There will be three Morris teams though, Wolf at the Door "Molly" Oakville Ale and Sword "guess" Forest City "Cotswold"
Also the inevitable session in the Kiwi, which as usual will be a magnificent combination of Tunes and Songs.
Other than that Mr Red had it all covered in the first posting.
