To celebrate Father’s Day (and fill in some lockdown hours), pop over to our social accounts and tell me a short story about your pāpā in the comments section of our Instagram or Facebook post to go in the draw to win a pair of Feather Kisses Cufflinks for him, and a Feather Kisses Pendant for you… ends 31st August at 11:59pm.

Here's one about mine.

My Dad loved rugby.

An injured leg that apparently could predict the weather and various other ailments from his old rugby days didn't stop his enthusiasm for an All Blacks game on the tele.

Us kids would try to be a part of it, as much as kids that don't really know the true rules of battle, can.. we just wanted to feel like our yelling and encouragement was making a difference to what was going on. We were pretty sure the players could hear us. They sure could hear Dad.

The End.
