Retired more or less, have discovered Nana-naps. Dawn is a foster parent for SPCA kittens.

Despite numerous predictions of me not getting anywhere, I managed to survive 29 years of military service, retiring as SSM SEME.
Went to Turkey/Gallipoli, Rhodes. Crete, Greece and Italy following 2 NZEF footsteps, then to England for a job interview. Had to wait 2 years for a vacancy so went to Antarctica for a season.
Took up residence in HM Tower of London as the only ever colonial Yeoman Warder, Dawn became a civil servant, working with the Royal Fusiliers and 16 years and many adventures later, RTNZ.
Initially to Tauranga then Dawn decided a 110 yr old villa in Feilding was 'our' dream home.

Am VP Feilding RSA (Dawn's the Sec/Treas) a member of the local men's choir, (the Old Crotchets) volunteer at the Coachhouse Museum, shoot Smallbore, mount medals and talk to a lot of groups. Have had a triple bypass, a blocked carotid, and the usual creaks and groans. Life has been a long adventure and I've been very privileged to have seen, done and been so much.
