What is one strong childhood memory?

I have a lot of great memories of what seemed like endless summer days of fun at Otematata and Loch Laird with my family and cousins. I may be imagining it, but I don't think we ever got bored.

What is your message?

Life is far too short to waste time on negative things. Get on with life and do what you can to make it a better one.

If you were going to an island and could only take three things, what would they be and why?

Assuming the necessities of life are there, I'd take a tent for shelter, a great book to read, and a boat so I could leave when I wanted to.

What's something only your family knows about you?

I have a notable scar gained from a bike challenge at Orana Park during my childhood. It's safe to say we didn't try to repeat that particular stunt ever again.

You are a new addition to the crayon box. What colour are you, and why?

I think I'd be black; generally useful and beneficial when used properly.
