Hi there!

​

I live in a small town in the North Island of New Zealand where hubby and I have a lifestyle block with a couple of cattle. We weren't going to name them but found we needed to be able to identify them and the best way was by using names. One is half black and half white so she's called Pie, short for Half-pie, and the other is completely black because her breed is Angus. However we can't call her Angus because that's a boy's name and she's a girl, so we changed a couple of letters around, and wow, there was her name, Agnes! 

​

Where we live, the temperatures are mild and we usually have a good supply of rain - ideal for gardens which is perfect for growing flowers and another hobby of mine. It's inevitable that some photos of my garden will appear on this site and occasionally turn up on Facebook.

​

When I’m not writing, reading, or gardening, I can often be found on the pillion seat of my husband’s motorbike as we explore this very picturesque country.

​

Although we enjoy riding his motorbike together, for a recent holiday we flew to Vancouver and took a week-long cruise up the Inland Passage to Alaska. We had three stops on the way and an excursion in each place, plus a cruise up Glacier Bay to view some glaciers.  What a wonderful experience!

​

Now that we're home again, I'm back into reading. In case you're interested, here's a list of some books I've enjoyed.
