Holi

It's the Holi festival in India today so me and Sangeeta went to an event in Richmond where we met up with her good friend and took part in smoothering each other in powdered paint..!!!

All good fun..

I was in India during Holi many years ago (before I met Sangeeta) and was modded by guys chucking coloured powdered paint at me and wondered what the hell was going on... A quick read of my guide book brought me up to speed.

Today was really good fun, apart from being stuck in traffic for 2 hours on the way home moving just 5 miles!!!!

I couldn't choose a single pic for today so created a little montage (whoops collage...)...
