I am an outgoing person, in excellent health, who enjoys a range of activities, including all things literary as well as classical music, and cinema. Since retiring from a full-time senior management position, I have written a personal memoir and taken up some voluntary work. I have been an avid reader all my life - books are essential to my well-being. I have enjoyed overseas travel but now confine myself to travelling within my own country or places close to New Zealand. I spend my time with my family, 3 children,8 grandchildren as well in the company of friends for coffee catch ups, lunches
