Look to Carabean Coffee Cart, for my lovely followers, Gardening is my big passion!

My 1969 Vagabond Caravan has become a permanent icon down at Red Rocks.  In the 4 years I have been there, my role has grown to much more than providing coffee!  I need to acknowledge the wonderful Owhiro Bay community and all of the awesome individuals who have come to not just be regulars, but part of the wider family I associate with this amazing and beautifully rugged spot!  My reasons for moving on have become about my own personal family and the journey we have been through in these last 4 years.

One of my major loves and stress relief is my garden, I have been involved in gardening from a young age as both my parents were avid gardeners and I have a true love for this passion!
