And if the new owner wants to live in it ….

Essentially over the past 20yrs we ve actually had to put money
into the business to keep it afloat, and our tenants in their homes. We re now in the position of having shitloads of equity, but

Aroha: Māori wisdom for a contented life lived in harmony with our planet by Dr Hinemoa Elder (Penguin, $30)
“Some people mistake our customs as placing women in a secondary role. This is not the case. Women as the ‘whare tangata’, the house of people, the source of future generations, are revered in our culture. Practices where women sit behind men do not denigrate women. We are seen as extraordinarily precious, to be protected from harm. Our voices are the first voices heard on our marae. Our karanga into the spiritual realm, between women from the home people and the visiting group, sets the scene for the discussions … ”

Writer and essayist Talia Marshall. This Summer my reading is not really for pleasure. Although, I recently stayed in an amazing bach in Aotea where Te Rauparaha had fought against Northern invaders before making his way south from Kawhia on his Musket War heke.

A Record Of The Life Of The Great Te Rauparaha (AUP, edited by another descendant, Ross Calman).
