This month, I have a health and wellness topic people either love or hate: How comfortable do you feel being alone? Yes, with yourself.
I have loved fishing for most of my 73 years.
As a youngster, I went with my father and his mates game fishing in Bay of Islands waters.
When I travel internationally, I love trying all the alternative coffee styles. Equally, in NZ, there are both big and boutique roasters using different levels of roast (light through to dark) presenting interesting well-crafted offerings to consumers.
I was born in London to Kiwi parents who were there on their honeymoon. You may think it must have been a long honeymoon but that’s a story for another time.
Sitting in my home – nearly hidden in kānuka (white tea-tree) forest – above the stretch of sand and sea that is my tūrangawaewae (place to stand), Te Puia Pā (an ancient fortified village) is shrouded in mist. My mind takes me on a journey.
