It’s Waitangi Day all over Aotearoa. All the drama may have been in Waitangi but the rest of the country was also commemorating the Day. In Whanganui our protest blanket group gathered at Pakaitore, had a picnic, yarned, talked to whoever walked past and did some blanket stitches.

Dining in Chicago but seeking that taste from home. Can you see it? The dish was called Sea Urchin Bucatini in other words Kina, my favourite summer sea food🙄 Also had blue crab and was yummy but not enough kina for my liking. Lure Fish Bar.
