Luckily I have no plans …

I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In late August 2025 I moved from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Now 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings have the right to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants.

Luckily I have no plans for overseas travel at the moment. The USA is already a place I won't go to, for what should be obvious reasons. Now it seems the UK will be another place I won't travel to.

I was born in the UK and held a British passport until it expired last year. I'm also a NZ citizen with a NZ passport. This news came as a shock — 'Sheer panic': Dual-citizenship Brits have to get UK passport to return | RNZ News:

While other visitors can pay $37 for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), New Zealand passport holders born in Britain will have to travel on a UK passport - and some say it is not straightforward to get one.
