RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Wellington New Zealand (the greatest country in the world). I work as a health care professional, have five children and seven grand children. Two of my Children live in Australia (the 2nd best country in the world). I enjoy going over there to visit them. I love gardening and the outdoors and am more and more getting into growing herbs. I suffer from arthritis and about two years ago had bi lateral knee replacements which has been a great success. Anyone out there who has had the same thing done I would love to hear from you. Thats about me I like the quiet life.
