I’ve just come home to the Bay from a week away around the
North Island. And I felt I had to share
the enormous joy I got from seeing us as a country flying the flag for the All Blacks.
It didn’t matter
where we were, there was flags and messages of support for the All Blacks on
just about anything. Rural NZ had flags
on fences, in paddocks, in trees, messages on barns, roofs, made from tyres,
with balloons and streamers and even on a farm bike. Not only were there flags on cars but in the
towns they adorned windows, mobility scooters, boats and all sorts of business
showed their support by flying flags off flagpoles to fishing rods.
The thing that made me proudest was that it wasn’t just all
about the All Blacks. There were
messages for the other countries too.
When we saw overseas tourists out and about they were warmly greeted and given the real Kiwi welcome that
can only come from a being a small nation.
Well done to us all!
And GO THE AB’s!
