MY HAPU : fy nhylwyth


HAPU
Māori word for descent group or clan. Modern meaning: section of a tribe, secondary tribe. Literally: to have conceived

TYLWYTH
Welsh word for 1. household, 2. family, 3. tribe, 4. ancestry

It's been a long time since we've seen our immediate family, but seeing our Kiwi 'hapu' over the past few months has been fantastic. We're both so grateful for the welcome we've had in all corners of the north island. Before we leave, we just wanted to say thank you. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we'll get a chance to welcome our tylwyth back to Wales.

Thanks again, Kia Ora a Diolch!
