This blog allowed me to practise writing while deciding what to do next. Life has changed dramatically since I started it in March 2011. It's now nearly two years and I am happily settled at an eco village in the most amazing environment at Motueka. It's not a commune: we share a hydro scheme and a challenging driveway that wends up a steep hill. Somehow I couldn't write during the time that it took to secure this place. Dad died in the middle of all. He went swiftly which is what he would have liked. It was just like him.

Now I am settled and my writing mojo is returning. I'm editing and writing fiction.

If you are reading this, thank you.
