  Descripción

  My partner and I own a house on a quarter acre section in the small historic town of Blackball on the West Coast of the South Island, NZ. My teenage grandson lives with us as well.
  
  We are trying to create a semi self sufficient lifestyle for our retirement. We have a lot packed into our section with fruit trees, berries and vege gardens. We have a lot of projects on the go including installing a water system for all the plants, a large berry house, renovating a caravan for guest, building a man shed, building a drying room and renovating the house.
  
  I am an artist with many talents including Silver smithing, stone carving and anything to do with Fibre. I love gardening and watching nature.
  
  My partner works away from home. His main focus is to get us mortgage free sooner rather than later.
  
  My grandson is at high school and his interests include gaming and going to the gym.
  
  We also have 5 rabbits, 3 cats and 2 guinnea pigs.
