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.

    • Yup. At best I have people who detest Trump shrugging and saying something like “what ya gonna do?” Like that is any kind of answer what we gonna do is condemn, and watch out for same happening here - and watch out for all the handmaidens who would allow this to happen.  Apologists for Farage, Jenrick etc 
    • There are plenty of Jewish people on these marches, who have every right to stand up and say not in our name. A Jewish bloc attends every single one: https://jfjfp.com/voices/jjp-at-the-gaza-demonstrations/ Jewish peoples lives are being made less safe by this war, as we recently saw in Manchester and in the clear increase in antisemitism. They want to see Peace, and this will only happen with justice for the Palestinians. Most have - within living memory - members of their families who have been murdered by an authoritarian regime. They know what they are seeing and why they are marching. Calling going on march 'indulging in Jew hatred' is just ridiculous. You've clearly never been on one. Engage your critical faculties and think about why these marches are being smeared, rather than spouting what the right wing press and home secretary tell you.
    • Thank you for posting that. Chilling.
    • It amazes me how little outrage there actually is. The US is very clearly, and very quickly falling into autocracy. And as noted above, there are an alarming number in the UK who appear to support the direction the US is taking.
