ABOUT ME

Lived in Christchurch for the last 10 years - before that the UK and my first years in the USA.
In my fifties (how did that happen?) with partner of 20 years (the lovely Gina - see photo), very recently child-free (for the moment-just starting at University!) and not finished travelling yet.

I collect old Penguin books (an obsession) and Gina restores old furniture. We love ... our dog, good food and wine, interesting people, travel, outdoors New Zealand, art, music, politics etc.

We smoke (but only outside).

Can communicate in several languages, but not very well! You can help us improve.

PHILOSOPHY

Armchair anarchist, glass half full (sometimes overflowing).
