Introduction | I’m Max, an English woman in and in love with New Zealand, and the New Zealander husband. In an almost forgotten previous life I worked as a psychotherapist and psychiatric nurse; now I’m the contented stay at home mother of Claudine 5, and Findlay who is almost 2. We live a quiet life in a small rural town in our arts and crafts house, but dream of moving out to some land one day, to build our own home and enjoy a long view. I like to laugh, be outside, be green, craft, grow, op-shop, read and write, photograph, eat and cook. My family, learning new stuff, quiet, beauty and reading blogs make me the happiest of all. This blog is a record of my enthusiasms, fleeting and enduring, and of those glowing forces of nature, my children. You can contact me at msmaxbennett(at)gmail(dot)com if you wish. |
