Our History
Paul is a financial trader and blogger, a keen outdoorsman and a long-serving member of the Nelson Tasman Emergency Response Team (NZ-RT2). Sarah has delicious ankles and is a mother, cook, guide, barista, musician, writer and gardener and occasional painter. It wasn’t always this way………
Paul and Sarah met on a blind date in 1990. We are both corporate escapees, Paul from finance and Sarah from Law – via lots of travel, some broken bones, a little overindulgence and a lot of Yoga & Tang Soo Do, we have ended up in New Zealand’s South Island. Here we live within minutes of wonderful rivers, native bush and beaches. We can put the washing on the line after breakfast, be on the ski fields in under two hours and still be back in time for dinner. We can spend the night in a mountain hut or a beach campsite not so far from home. We have great friends, wonderful kids, five daft chickens and one smart dog. Life is simple and life is good.
