Enjoying delicious fresh oysters at the Fête du Cerf et de la Crevette in Boulouparis, New Caledonia. Community fairs like this one celebrate local products and rural traditions in a fun family atmosphere.

@edwardlucas Sincere condolences from one who once met your parents around the kitchen table of J & M Pope in North Oxford. They were all such good friends: that’s something to remember and celebrate 🕯️

@davidcapie Ultimately, the story of our season. Reckon Wood’s international window injury may have been the difference…?

Aujourd’hui nous avons commémoré l’Anzac Day à Nouméa avec le Dawn Service à la caserne Gally-Passebosc.
Le 25 avril, les Néo-Zélandais du monde entier se souviennent des sacrifices consentis par tous ceux qui ont combattu pendant les guerres.

@markgooding Vale Gwen. She was kind to me in the short time I was in Bangkok, and her championing of the people of Myanmar was fearless. Moe mai rā, wahine toa 🕯️
