Christmas break
Hi all hope you had a fantastic Christmas with family and friends, sorry have just gotten back to my laptop, and I must admit I did not miss it to much lol. Just want to say I hope you have all been safe, to our new members that have signed up, a HUGE WELCOME TO YOU ALL, I do hope that you find this site helpful and informative in some way or another. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to ask, there are alot of people on here that are more than willing to help if possible. Please be safe on the roads if you are travelling near or far, I must say myself that my whanau so far have been pretty lucky to make it to OAMARU and back to CHCH safe and sound, but come next week my family and I will be heading to Te Puke which is in the B.O.P back to where my whanau (family) are from. I will try to keep up to date with what is going on, but as it is the festive season for catching up with family and friends it is a tad bit on the hard side some times. But I do wish you all a safe and Happy New Year, may it bring new beginnings, alot of joy and less heartache to you all. May you all achieve what you set out to do in the new yr and I wish you all the very best. Thanks from me and my Whanau to you all
