Te Rā o Pāpā – Father’s Day
Ahakoa te kaha o Tāwhirimātea, te makariri o te hukarere me te marangai, engari ka puawai ngā putiputi, he tohu tēnei, ka tata ki te Koanga me te Rā o Pāpā.
Hope that you are all well! Even though it is very windy, and we can feel the snow and rain, the signs of Spring are here with the blossoming of Daffodils and so is Father’s Day!
