Tēnā koutou ngā Kaimanaaki katoa (Warm acknowledgements to all you caregivers).
I had to share with you some photos I took of freesias in the garden and remereme (lambs) in the paddocks, Spring is here and I love this time of year.
I know our recent weather events have been a bit hit and miss, and I hope you weren’t too badly affected, but I hope you will take the opportunity to get outside and enjoy springtime with your whanau.
EVENTS
I was privileged to meet some ‘keen for caffeine’ caregivers on a two-part Café Road Trip in October. Thanks to all who took part and received some branded goodies for your time and effort. I would love to come to your ‘local’ to see where you call home, flick me a text so I can jump into my car and come to you.
Calling all Kaitaia Caregivers and whānau, we’ve organised a Kaukau me Kai (Swim and Eat) event on Saturday 11th November from 12pm, at Te Punawai-Ora, 332 Quarry Road, Kaitaia.
Come have some fun in, or out, of the sun, thanks to Te Rangi o Aniwaniwa Kura Kaupapa for allowing us to use their facilities.
