About Me

Our AllBlack boys. Woooooaaarrr look at those knees!

I'm a girl who loves to laugh, sing, fish, paint and talk to my friends around the world. I love the beach and our beloved Mt Taranaki - I'm such a nature girl. Camera in hand - I can see such wonder and I want to capture it all.
I grew up in Waitara, near the marae. At night I would sometimes hearing the calling/welcoming of visitors onto the marae, or the wailing if it were a Tangi/funeral. The gates of the OWAE MARAE Waitara, bring back memories of my childhood.

My Interests

Amateur artist, art connosieur and photographer.

My favourite local artist, is Paul Hutchinson. His work is an inspiration. I've always been in awe of the way he captures glass. My fav painting being his pears and bottles - just click on the links below this wonderful painting.
Thanks Jan for the know how :-)

Postcard from Puniho

Some of my Art work. I'm a tiger at not completing works. Lol, maybe it's my style.

I love beach walking, fishing. Garden festivals and art exhibitions, painting and photography. Talking to people in far away places. Music, DVD's and soaking in the mineral pools. And did I say fishing, :-)

I'd like to meet:

My longtime online friends. Especially Janice, Colleen and Sue.

Music:

I just love music of all varieties. I love NZ music especially. NZ music fought so hard to get airplay for so long! And not many of our Maori people can't sing. It is part of their culture. So I will just add and subtract favourite music videos as the mood takes me.

Movies:

Anything that makes me laugh. Action and drama.

Television:

I so loved the Telethons of the 80's. This video is of Dalvanius Prime RIP, another of my T.V. heroes along with PrinceTui Teka. Those guys knew how to entertain and stir a crowd. I have so much respect.

Woo hoo - NZ music history - Ray Colombus back in the sixties.

Books:

Biographies, and stories of pioneer days.

Heroes:

My darling husband. He bails me out when the going gets tough and makes me laugh.
My Dad :-)
