I Met Some More Old Bedfords...

 While I was parked at Vinegar Hill I met two old Bedfords...

This is Belisama... A 1981 Bedford VAS... 8.5 meters 

So named because Belisama in Celtic polytheisim is 

connected with lakes, rivers, fire, crafts and light. 

 And the caravan, which is Garry's workshop 
is attached behind.

 
It belongs to Joss & Garry

And Charlie Brown... Lying under the bus to keep cool

Joss and Garry are members of the Gypsy Fair... a group

of very talented people who make a variety of art and 

crafts and travel round New Zealand for eight

months of the year setting up stalls and the fair

in different places each weekend.  

Garry is a jeweller who works with Jade, Paua, Sterling

Silver, Bone and Mother of Pearl.

Joss is the business administrator... She also makes

4 strand plait cords... used to hang Garry's bone 
and jade carving necklaces on.

Garry is passionate about Jade or Greenstone...

As they travel he said he is educating New Zealand

about Greenstone... One town at a time.
