Retired school teacher, private tutor and freelance editor, married 48 years to Lorraine, retired bridal designer and dressmaker. We have previously hosted international students in our home for ten years and guests in our apartment for 4 years. We enjoy time with family and friends, gardening and DIY, walking and cycling, travelling to NZ's South Island, and listening to worship and gospel music. We try to treat others how we would like to be treated.

We live in a well-established neighbourhood which is very quiet, peaceful and safe... one of Tauranga's top suburbs, and yet very close to all amenities such as the bus route, the CBD, and the beautiful Mount Maunganui with its famous swimming and surf beaches. There are delicious take-aways available just down the road, or a full range of food options only 3 minutes drive away at the Cherrywood Shopping Centre (full details contained in the compendium found in the studio room).
