Kia ora!
Hope everyone's been staying warm. I’m personally slightly fed up of the rain and wind. I literally nearly flew away like Mary Poppins the other day. Anyways, if you saw the subtitle, you know it’s going to be an interesting issue. It’s not the most packed issue ever, but there are still some really cool events happening. So enough waffling from me, and I’ll let you dive into it.
