My parents are visiting from Invercargill whom we haven't seen for 6 months so took this opportunity to learn the kaikōhau: Nau mai ngā hua Nau mai ngā pai Nau mai kia nui Kia hāwere ai Welcome all things that have grown Welcome all things that are good May they be plentiful and abundant I recited the kaikōhau for them before we then enjoyed our kai together with my husband who is unfortunately cut out of the size of the photo. An enjoyable evening ensued. . . . . .
