Description
I am 82 yrs of age, and widowed since June 2020.
Age is making it difficult to cope with the workload of the lifestyle block, with about 60 fruit trees, a vege garden, pruning, weeding, compost making, cut our own firewood for heating and hot water.
There are many mature trees on the property, and we have access to a 10klm very private beach for long walks, swimming, and fishing. We are 45 klms from Kaitaia, and 40 klms from Coopers Beach.
Off the electricity grid, but have solar power, batteries,and wireless internet with cell phone coverage, 120 GB plan
I am an amatuer muso, playing a Very good Keyboard, and steel guitars.
I have a big collection of older music...
