Here’s Spring

The Holi festival in northern India: it’s a bit like a “dry” water-fight and involves chucking coloured powders over other people to celebrate Spring. The use of colours derives from competing legends, and observance of Holi is multi-denominational. It’s noisy, raucous and… colourful. Recreate it in your garden by throwing poster paints around: but steer clear of the clean washing or freshly idle-dryed hair!
