Tuiscope is a Waikato home business. I live and work at Te Pahu - a rural community on the northern slopes of Mt Pirongia. I was born in the Waikato town of Te Awamutu and although I lived in Auckland from the age of 7 until the turn of the millenium, some of my happiest childhood memories were playing on the slopes of Mt Pirongia as a child. Pirongia has always seemed like my mountain to me. It felt like a complete homecoming to finally move back here in the year 2000, build a hilltop home here on a foothill of Pirongia, (its called Bagnall's Hill) plant fruit trees and settle down beside my mountain. The room where I sit writing now has a glorious view looking south at all the wild weather rolling across the mountain from west to east. I've even seen snow up there!
