Julie happiest playing outdoors
​One of the most vivid memories of my childhood is about the big Kowhai tree in our garden which was the centrepiece for my play. Its seeds and leaves used for counting and decorating. There was no technology until a black and white TV entered into the lounge. Sitting for long in front of it was never an option due to my parents shooing me away.

​I know the amount of time I spent as a child appreciating nature is directly linked to how I 
cherish the simple things of life; fresh air, a walk in the forest, a swim in the lake. How fortunate I am to live in Franz Josef where those activities are on the doorstep.
