Greetings to all lovers, It's Valentine’s Day this week and all thoughts turn to love. Love in all its guises. And age is not a barrier. As a long-time married woman (it’s our 28-year anniversary during the Festival), I love it when my husband Gregg surprises me.

Kia ora koutou, talofa lava, nǐmén hǎo, Namaste, gidday and Goeiendag. Hasn’t the weather been fabulous? Hope all the Aucklanders had a good anniversary day – I swam, ate pippis and enjoyed being at home with my husband. It reminded me of my childhood of hot endless summers, and I thought back to those days in West Auckland when I lived in Titirangi and my Mum had a dance school that spread all over this city, from Papatoetoe to the North Shore and Henderson.
