Dentist in the afternoon; Karola’s friend Rowena and her Auntie Polly (Netta) came to afternoon tea and to talk about flax. On the flax front the marae people apparently thought we were out to exploit their special knowledge and make a fortune whereas all Karola offered was that if they told us the right varieties to plant for Maori weaving then they could come and harvest it each year. I doubt anything will come of this. Rowena and Netta stayed till almost dark.
