Welome from New Zealand !

I was an avid reader of mainly man type books, War, Sci-Fi, Horror and Thriller and then I started to go blind and eventually the ability to read without magnification was upon me. For a year I read nothing, but soon discovered Audio Books, and my desire to read was born again. I still miss the tactile feel of reading a book whilst laying in bed, but at least I can read.

Due to my vision loss I have been medically retired, so no work at 55 years old - now that's tough. I used to work at Radio New Zealand, as part of the incredible IT team (The power behind the micro-throne - so to speak).
I was born in Portsmouth, and immigrated (with parents, not a prodigy child) to Rhodesia when I was 12. At 20 I emigrated to South Africa, and at 33 returned to England. Bloody 'ell 10 years later I moved on again. This time far down under, to New Zealand. NZ is beautiful, they call it GODzown but my heart will always belong in Africa. It creeps into your heart and soul, a beautiful country, torn by conflict and hatred – so sad.

I also love to write both novels and poetry – mainly Christian. My poetry has been published but I want to write a novel. Unfortunately being so well read, I struggle to find new ideas. Don't want to plagiarize anyone – I want to create something new.
My Poetry can be found at Read my diary.

I've travelled to many places and love visiting new countries and then meeting the locals. I have travailed to the following countries:

9. Italy- (Venice, Arrezio, Ciuta De Castello)
   
10. Croatia - (Split & Dubrovnick)
    
11. Scotland - (Inverness, Fort William, Fort Augustus, Dalwhinnie - and boated the entire Caledonian Canal)
    
12. Wales - (Laugharne, Tenby & Carmarthan)

Emigrated to New Zealand - 2008.....Christchurch has a big bookcrossing crowd, and is big on bookcrossing conventions. Missed every one !
I am going to leave my books around paraparaumu and other locations as I travel, hope people can find them
Since I now have so much time on my hands I walk a lot. New Zealand is perfect for walking, there is so many options for walking, riverside, beachfront, forest, mountains and hills.

Most books read in a year - 114 (2019)

My yearly Challenge is to read fifty two (52) books each year, that would be one a week.
My Extended challenge is to read 100 books a year (Done it Five times)
My Extreme Challenge is to read 2 books per week (104) books. (Completed 4 nTimes - WooHoo)
