I love playing taxi at the weekends for my two small children who seem to have a better social life and more hobbies than myself! I don't often get much "ME" time, but I love nothing more than being outdoors, cosied up alone with a book or being whisked off for a delicious meal, accompanied with an espresso martini in hand or tasting whatever new creation my wonderful husband has dreamed up in the kitchen!

Hello there! I'm Stu, not Stuart. My spare time is usually filled with family, friends, house renovations and DIY projects - the list is endless. I totally love gardening - it's true escapism, relaxation and my happy place. I'm a creative at heart and as such quite arty - I paint, draw, doodle and relish a recycle/upcycle project. I'm a besotted #CatDad to my gorgeous girl Lulu. I have a (slightly worrying) houseplant addiction. I enjoy a very eclectic taste in music and film. I married a Kiwi so New Zealand has a special place in my heart. We both love to cook and travel. Oh and I really (seriously) enjoy housework and cleaning! Attention to detail is key and manners cost nothing. I live my life with Karmic values.

DIY, cooking, spa-ing (of the horizontal, massage type - not the fighting type!). I love doing stuff with my hands, and love feeding people - so using my 4 BBQs (outdoor ovens if I'm feeling posh) is a regular occurrence when the weather allows, and knocking things down and making things look nice at home is a lovely escape from a busy work schedule.
