Hello!


I know a lot of kiwi families live around ED and someone mentioned that they thought there was a kiwi family group that met up? If not, would anyone be interested in starting a group? Help remember childhood favourites like Oma Rapeti?!


Also, has anyone been to the Kohanga Reo? My little one is a year old, not sure if that is too young...


Oh, and for some reason my husbands ED name is linked to my email, I'm Caroline!

Hi,


I'm a kiwi in ED. When I first moved to the area a few years ago there was a forum thread about Kiwi families meeting up. I never went along (as was pregnant with my first at the time) so am not sure if anything came of this. I'm sure someone will be along soon who might know more about this.


Either way I'm happy to meet up as I want my kids to be in touch with their kiwi side too!

Hello.


Another kiwi Mum here. I went along a few years back to a couple of coffee meet ups, but didn't really follow up on it and I'm not sure if it carried on or not.


I always meant to go to Kohanga, but Saturday mornings always seem busy, so we've never made it. We did go to the hangi that they are part of a couple of years ago, which was great. I YouTube clips of the traditional songs we did at school in an attempt to educate my 3 kids on the kiwi side of their heritage!


We are moving to NZ at the end of this year, after 15 years in London. Happy to meet up - my kids are all at school now (youngest mornings only), but maybe we should try to arrange a kiwi picnic once the weather warms up?

Sorry we will miss some of you. Let's definitely get another date in soon.


For Sunday - shall we meet outside the cafe in Peckham Rye park? I think there are picnic tables there, and then maybe head off to somewhere a bit greener in the park? You can spot us as we will be with the very blonde toddler.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
