music, reading cooking for family and friends. enjoy the beach and spending time with loved ones

I find nothing more relaxing than being with my whanau, having a glass of wine and cooking. Whanau time is an important part of my life. when I am at home I like to read my book, The 7 sisters it gets better with each book. Music is a big part of our whole, whether alone at home cranking the sounds or with everyone having a good time. The beach I find so peaceful is a place where I feel free. I take my wee dog Turbo for a walk along Pegasus Beach. There is nothing more refreshing than the smell of the ocean listening to the waves.
