Toitū te Tiriti, he Tangata Tiriti ahau. He Aroreretini hoki. Historian and general nerd of the Irish Diaspora. Lives with a cat called Zuko, ex-stray; he's still a little wary of humans. Very wise.

Our very clever friend Emily Cater made us a beautiful Christmas card. For non NZers, Edmonds is the ubiquitous baking goods company, the leaf on the right is Kawakawa for healing, Pohutukawa (red) is our Christmas tree (and link with dead) and Kowhai is the yellow blossom birds love.
