Q&A

FAVOURITE LOCAL SHOP: It’s not local, but a short drive away. One that everyone must stop at, Charlie Who in Taupo — fashion, art and homeware.

FAVOURITE LOCAL RESTAURANT: I have so many. Hawke’s Bay is right up there in terms of food and wine culture. FG Smith, Mister D, Ya Bon French Baker and Birdwoods Gallery.

BEST MONEY WE EVER SPENT: A coffee machine.

THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK: Quickly get the oven on to feed my hungry tribe. Actually, Rob would say that it would be checking my emails and social media!

BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I EVER RECEIVED: Plan your work, work your plan. That applies to my teaching a lot. Also, “deal with the now” is another saying I am working on improving.
