Roger and Julia

"Julia is Spanish, born and raised in Madrid. She spent most of her schooling in a military orphanage as her father had been an air force pilot who lost his life in a plane crash. I came to New Zealand as a child with my family from the UK and went back to England in my early 20s on my OE. 

Julia and I met in Cambridge where I was working in a hotel and Julia was working to improve her english. We fell in love and came back to New Zealand with our baby girl and bought our first house in Avondale. The house itself was built in Freemans Bay in the 1890s and transported to Avondale in the early 1900s. 

Our next child was born at home and amazingly her first child was born in the very same room 20 odd years later. Not all the grandchildren live in Auckland unfortunately but the ones that do know where to come when they're hungry. Julia the matriarch will feed them."
