Lives in Akaroa, New Zealand
I’m happy to spend time with my guests or give them space
I am married to a superstar on the computer(his words). I am a keen gardener, love books, animals, art and people. Originally from Devon, England I spent my early 20s in America. On returning to England I met my kiwi husband who brought me to NZ to live on the family sheep farm (I love an adventure) I have enjoyed restoring our old farmhouse and gardens and have spent the last few years sharing it with people from all over the world.
