Time to get ready for Su’s virtual afternoon tea
I shall add my bit from Australia for Su as she said “As it’s te wiki o te reo Māori (Māori language week) in Aotearoa New Zealand, I’m challenging myself to improve my te reo (language) skills wherever I can.”
Kia ora
“Whatever we call it though, there is ti in the pot; te mīhini kawhe (the coffee machine) is at the ready and although the kai (food) is simple, there’s plenty to fill your puku (stomach).”
Here is my contribution – I have used te mīhini kawhe and made a cup and also have mongamonga keke
So haere mai ki te hono atu ki a Su me etahi atu. Nau mai te katoa. So come along and join Su and everyone else. Everyone is welcome
Ka pai e hoa! Thanks for coming along and joining te korero

Goodness I can almost understand that. Must be from spending so much time with Su 😊 Enjoy the cake, looks delish. I do happen to have some chocolate fudge cake in the fridge and some clotted cream, but I’m not sharing… 😅

It was a fab fruit cake and I make a great coffee. Lot’s to learn. There was a TV show called The Casketeers which showed a bit of Maori life and death. It was very funny and was also educational 🙂 I’ll be there for chocolate fudge cake as soon as I can Jude 😀 😀

I like a decent fruit slab and one day I hope to join you for a cup of your coffee 😀

I did cut a good slab but was quite demure and cut the slab into three pieces. Yes a coffee meet up would be fab Jude 🙂

Don’t tell anyone but I did use a translator. My best language skill is to talk nonsense 😀

Thank you for bringing tea and sharing this video – I found the opening sequence extremely moving. May we never forget where we have come from.
