I am an Aussie girl who lives by the water, loves travel and meeting new people. I have a passion for good food and wine, drinking plenty of tea,our environment,and of course my family!

I am a nurse, who loves working out in the community. After I finished my degree, I turned to chocolate and became a chocolatier,there is nothing better than the smell of melted dark chocolate. While I still make them, and spend alot of time in the kitchen, I returned to nursing,because my qualification was sitting there! I am extrememly independent and get kicks out of taking risks and trying new things. I love all things green, and recycling products that can be used again. Sustainability and environment. Highly important!!! Vintage fabrics, buttons, antique books (I have my great grandmothers first nursing book, passed down, a very special treasure to me) Always open to suggestions and new people. I love the colour Green, Im always wearing it, and am always surrounded by it. Red, because its strong and emits emotions unlike any other. Yellow, because who doesn't like the sun?

Music is one of the most important things in the my life. I listen to it all day if I can and all night. I will listen to almost anything, however, I have a few favourites, especially ones that I grew up listening to.

Crafts....there are alot of crafts that I think people are expert in but I am not, however, I do love knitting,my grandma taught me when I was little and I still do it today. Photography, sewing and drawing. Origami, because I love doing things with my hands - such an intricate art.

I love all things colourful.

Things that are bold. Old french artisian posters advertising washing soap. The ones that look fantastic in the kitchen or the bathroom.

Animals. I have dogs and donkeys, goats and birds. I would love to have an animal farm...one day.

A good solid bottle of wine. A Peter Lehemann Shiraz sitting by the fire and eating dark chocolate.

Cooking. Eating. Drinking. Good Company.
