2008 January - Val and Malcolm cruise the Nile
2008 June - Mona at hangi in England, meets Tama Iti at Clandon Park, Val meets up in Shere
Karl and his daughter. Karl is a member of the Puata family from Waitara. They were at the hangi where the kapa haka of Ngati Ranana performed. Karl recognised Mona from his childhood; he used to accompany Hip and his fellow research Mr McIntyre from Rimutauteka up beyond Pukerangiora |
| In the weekend Julie and Darryn took Mum and Sam to attend the Ngati Ranana hangi held at Clandon Park in nearby Guildford. A passing acquaintance with MaoriTV.com celebrity such as Bill Tawhai and Mum has a fan photo with him. Next she had Tama Iti in her g sights and lined him up for a photo too. Sure enough, on the Skype chat, Mum said that that Aunty Gemma and Uncle Martin's Waitara hangi were 'much better'. Talk about loyalty. Tuesday: Right this very minute, Val is getting onto the coach, bus to most of us, and on her way from Heathrow to Woking. A 15 minute trip from his home in Shere and Darryn will have Val in his car with the five rings, as Mum calls it, and back to meet her mokopuna. About two hours from now Mum will be delivered to Heathrow to begin her outward journey to Los Angeles on her koru tailed bird. Passing ships in the night? Friday: Val has a few more days in England. She has visited Darryn at his work place in Godalming. I think that they are going up to London today, Friday the 4th. 29 June Mona and buddy Tama Iti at the marae in Clandon Park, Guildford, Surrey, England. Tama is visiting England and Europe to act in a play called The Tempest. Rewa Iti, from Lepperton, was a friend of Mum's; she died some years ago.

| From: Margret | Sent: 6/08/2008 10:45 p.m. |
| 21 July and this is Mona's third night in hospital since she arrived back in New Zealand. She is enjoying the comforts of the Short Stay Ward in Takapuna's North Shore Hospital. Jetlag is slow to catch up with her though tonight she was yawning mightily. Mum is teasing staff or fellow patients with her wit. 18 July, wet Friday night in Auckland: Mona's aeroplane is up to mach 4 and looking for the Good Shepherd's Alitalia in nearby Sydney. Arrival just after 5am Saturday morning and to see if the Air Nelson links pilots are having their strike still. Trip to New Plymouth was postponed. Early July, on a Saturday, and Val's face graced the adverts featuring the PEI in New Plymouth during the the Tyra Banks Show on tv.
