I am a New Zealander, though until 6 years ago spent over 30 years in
Australia with husband and 2 children who returned to N.Z. in adulthood. There are two grandchildren and when Bob died felt my place was with them.
In a retirement village, own 2 bedroom unit and no regrets about that, with total independence.
Interests - mainly big effort in keeping fit, knitting, computers of course,
especially AFPF and reading www.sites, petanque only recently. Also into
modern jazz, thriller reading and re-reading the classics, or near classics.
