About Me

Have recently moved home to New Zealand after eight years living abroad - Australia, England and the US. Am relishing this new chapter and am loving reacquainting myself with old friends and the delightful wee idiosyncracies this country has to offer. It is good to be home.
I particularly enjoy:- music (of all varieties), socializing - with old acquaintances, new friends and randoms, water, watersports, attending remote weddings in ecologically friendly lodges in the Abel Tasman (ok so that is a little specific but quite true), mountains, travel, flying, riding horses, playing tennis, writing, being right, cycling ... my priorities and preferences have turned a full circle since returning home.
