Nana Maude Miratana 95 Years Young

Tena koutou te whanau, Our dear Nana Maude celebrated her 96th birthday on Wednesday April 10th. Her whanau celebrated this occasion at her home in Manakau where she has lived all of her life. Nana Maude has had a sore shoulder since the wind started to blow. This has stopped her using her good hand to do some gardening. Nana Maude has been missing our other whanau who have passed away in the last twelve months.

Nana Maude had the best seat in the house and was able to speak with all the guests. She looks really great eh!

Two other special guests to enjoy the day with Nana Maude were two of our kaumatua Horace Cook and George Ramsbotham. Uncle George has had a crook leg over the last six months but continues to carry on
