Personal statement
"I live with my husband, John, and cat, Custard Slice, in Auckland in a lovely little place where we have planted a veggie garden and have a reserve just down the road. Our interests include endurance riding (horses), cycle touring, and running...plus the odd duathlon, triathlon, and tramping trip."
