Language oppression is all about control. Welsh Nots a classic example,(from FB). I can't help but think of te reo Māori and the cr*p going on here. Re-Anglicising signs, govt dept names, passports. What a waste of $ trying to remove our bilingual heritage #nzpol #nz #cymru #language #tereoMāori

Seeing posts of travellers trying to drive NZ in 7 days. People need to take a look at the map and note the need to catch a ferry too. It's a small population but a spread out country!

Made a batch of Zimtsterne cinnamon stars for Matariki. Not a bad effort, though not as classy as the ones in the new @goodbitchesbake.bsky.social cookbook, Familiar Foods: Treats of Aotearoa gbb.org.nz/shop/familia...
