Ngā mihi o te tau hou. Happy New Year! I'm off my "holiday" from SM.
Well, we had a great break, I got some of the funding for both my volunteer community projects - the new #CentralAndWesternArchive computer arrived and is set up and now the new scanner has come in the post and is waiting to be picked up Monday, so lots of excitement here, many thanks to the Tūātapere TeWaeWae Community Board for their funding our new equipment.
