Fun Facts about me....

I played football (aka soccer), from 12 year's old to 40 year's old.  I represented my home town of Nelson many times.  I mostly played left back and I was a great sweeper!

I have had many, many jobs in my lifetime, from cleaning to Tour Guide at Pic's Peanut Butter!  I've picked pears, worked as a waitress, a teacher aide, market stall manager, a Countdown delivery driver, shop assistant in a fruit & vege shop, Math's presenter, Hearing programme presenter and much more!  My faves were pear picking and the fruit & vege shop.

My Dad played the piano by ear, my oldest sister learned piano through the grades and Mum sang and whistled around the house.  I could play 'Three Blind Mice' on the piano when I was 3 years old and my sister taught me Classical piano for a year when I was 6 or 7.  I wrote my first song as a teenager, then completed a year's music course in 2000.  I started writing songs for children in 2001 and have been doing it ever since.

I once cycled around Vietnam with a tour group, raising funds for 'Variety - the Children's Charity'.  I raised the most money and won a cool road bike - which I've still got!
