A little bit about me...
Hi. My name is Andrea Smith. I am a 60 year old woman and I am now a widow after losing my husband to Oesophageal cancer 10/6/2023. After selling our home, we moved on 10/12/2021 into our new home in Daniels Road, Redwood, Christchurch. Following 2 bad falls off a ladder, I fractured a small bone close to my spine, and told to downsize by my doctor. Hence, I bought my home here and moved in on 16/6/2023. I’m very boring really! I love reading, biking (I can tire my dog Sam, easier by biking), cars (rallying, Formula 4 and European sports cars), and walking Sam. However, since the death of my husband then my father, who died six days later, I have become more introverted. But, I am learning more by doing my own home maintenance, only small projects, of course!
