Te Matatini competitions

I’ve spent the past couple of days watching Te Matatini competitions on TV and have been blown away by them. Such stunning performances from the the groups. Our whole family has thoroughly enjoyed them; even my elderly sister told me this morning how much she loved them.

Next year you should all watch them; you won’t regret it.

Me and my beloved older sister, Neroli. Our birthdays are only three weeks apart in May/June, so my niece got us a joint birthday cake. Remarkably, she managed to transport it safely all the way from Auckland!
