I have lived all my life in the sunny Tauranga, and just love it! We are so near to the pristine white-sand beaches, stunning scenery, and walks that don't compare in the world.
I have enjoyed learning, and having skills over the years that my mother taught me, passed on from her mother, who taught herself to knit, sew and garden.
One old adage I think of regularly - 'don't judge a person till you've walked a mile in his shoes'
