Kia ora Koutou!
Welcome to my first official blog for 2017. The first bite of cold breath within the morning air confirms that the Summer months are soon coming to an end. With the extreme heated days, we are extremely relieved for cooler weather here in Tūranga (Gisborne) with still enough sun to warm the beach.
I have recently made updates to make finding particular details and sharing my information easier. Though my web page is always work in progress, be sure to take some time in revisiting my page for recent updates or subscribe to my mailing list so you get to be the first to be informed on all my happenings. Feel free to share my site with your friends and family!
I hope you are all living and loving where you may be in whatever you maybe doing in the world!
