I am a 61 year old housewife from Auckland New Zealand. I have lived in this house for the past 21 years with my husband, David, who is also 61 and is blind. We have a daughter, Helen, and a son, James; both are now living and working in London England. I have many interests including genealogy, scrapbooking, philosophy, internet, tennis, music, writing, reading, travel, dreams, family and science among other things.
