| Every year Kohanga here in London holds a hangi at Clandon House in Kent. So there we are, digging a hole in the ground at 5am in the morning! This year, though, dawned wet and overcast! | ||

Kaia, Coby and Henry staying warm near the fire. |
This year Clandon House has a new head gardener. He endeared himself by bringing the tractor to help fill over the hangi pit once the kai had gone down and again at the end of the day when filling the pit in! |
