Forget Guy Fawkes; here’s something we could be remembering in New Zealand every 05 November: 5 November is 138 years since 1600 armed troops invaded Parihaka village.
All part of the British campaign to dispossess Māori of their lands.

I love simplicity and silence. On this blog I share bits and pieces from my daily life. In late 2025 I moved from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Since July 2024 I've been doing resistance training to help me maintain my independence as I age. Almost 71, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings have the right to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants.
