Me in a nutshell

Living adjacent to the beautiful Waitakere Ranges; I can be found "fluffing about" in my garden, trailed by my extended family of pets. Our family like to get out into nature for a bush walk or enjoying a cheesy walk on the beach. For fun you will find me gaming on my PC with my husband.
