Description
I live in a beautiful country sanctuary, with stunning views of the Waimate district and the sea. The native birds and the garden filled with a wide variety of plants, create this tranquil, serene environment. There is an orchard with a variety of fruit. Seven sheep and a rather chatty cat 'Titten' keep me company. I am a reflexologist and I have an interest in medicinal plants and like making herbal infusions and tinctures. I enjoy qigong practice, biking and singing.
