E Pā, e Brownie.

Maringi kau noa a roimata, i kapohia rā koe e ngā ringa kamakama o Hinenuitepō.
Tēnei tō rahi kua mahue iho mai, kia mōkaihia koe, kia apakurahia koe. E te pāpā tohikura, kia tānikohia koe ki te remu o te kahu o Ranginui, me he whetū tārake e iri tahi nei ki a Pōhutukawa. Hānatu haere, ki ō tīpuna e tatari nei ki a koe, me ngā mate katoa kua haoa rā, e Te Kupenga o Taramainuku.

Nei rā te tangi o tāu makau, āu tamariki, āu mokopuna, me tō whānau whānui anō hoki, ki a koe.

E te pāpā, e moe, e moe, e au te moe.

Kia ora koutou
Photos just added. It's like watching The Block!.... Not very exciting to look at but great to know that the wall linings are going in and the flooring will hopefully start next week. Have you seen the new frontage? We will soon have a pathway and fencing. I'll be looking for someone to help gather and plant the front area as well. Get in touch if you know someone 😀
We will still be closed right up until Christmas, hoping to get in early next January!
It's going to look and feel amazing xx
Here are some progress pics so far....

PS.. we will organise a working bee in the new year
