#Spotted at the Ngatimoti Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand Two women (50s &60s?) are lounging on Adirondack chairs overlooking the festival. Plates piled high with bake sale treats. A jar of garden-picked flowers on their gingham-draped table. Big rolling hills and mountains in the distance. A small human (3?) is gesturing with a dictatorial pointing stick as he directs a large number of other small humans as they dig in a sand pit. Dictatorial Small Human cares not for this digging business. He cares for project management and is MOST INSISTENT that they all follow his orders! A small human (4?) wearing fluffy cat ears, is horsey galloping to the food trucks then to look at some grazing ponies, then to look at some vintage cars, THEN to a sandpit. Small Human Cat Pony has much galloping to do and she's going to do it EVERYWHERE. Neighing and meowing as she goes! A man (40s?) is inspecting a fundraising stall selling multiple types of tomato plants. With a thoughtful expression, he says: "I reckon we should get these ones, love." His partner asks: "Yeah? Why'd ya like those ones?" "Cos they're lookin' at me funny." She laughs. A tiny human (2?) wearing a monster truck T-shirt, shorts and bare feet is looking with great skepticism at a group of of bagpipe players. Hands on hips. Tryin' to work this big noise out.

    Any typos spotted in this post had an amazing morning driving out to Ngatimoti yesterday to go to its yearly festival. If typos spotted, they'll be sitting on the grass, under a big tree, enjoying the vibe. The image is of the bagpipe players in question. (More in alt-text as always.) Also, if you'd like to pre-order your copy of More Tiny Moments of Joy (The second Tiny Moments book), coming on the 30th October, you can get your copy here: https://www.swashbucklerpress.com/tiny-moments-of-joy (All prices in NZD, which is much cheaper in AUD, USD, GBP Euro etc) Thank you!🌸😊🌻πŸͺ»
