Love puzzles esp cryptic crosswords and Wordle.
I made a colouring book!
To relax I like to knit( still a beginner) or spin fibre, play guitar or piano or just read.
Also love growing flowers, tropical fruit and odd herbs.

I wish it wasn’t a thing but it is and I don’t tolerate gluten or dairy. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but I do love herbal teas. #SecretSantaAoNZ
Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.
