Then back to black and red
Now all shades of purple from fuchsia to lavender to rich grape and purple.

A born and bred New Zealander, proud to be a kiwi and love my country.
Have lived in both North and South Islands. Now resident in sunny Nelson, the Sunshine capital of the country.
Started work on my fifteenth birthday and only just retired two years ago, so many occupations in over 50 years, clerical, nursing,banking,sewing, toymaaking, preschool eduction, self employed, orcharding and floraculture.

I like being retired and having time to do what I enjoy. Gardening, craft work, playing Petanque, Women's Institute, meeting friends, family time, fun on the computer, photography, and cooking sometimes!
Love out two Burmese cats, they give us so much enjoyment and they seem to think we are tops!

I don't like mean people, anyone who is cruel to pets, dishonest people, peple who just take and never give.

Trying to stay young!! not doing well in that regard!
Writing poems for family and friends birthday cards.
Thinking that one day I will write my history.
