My name is Wendy and I have lived in our home for 26 years. I have recently retired as CFO of a large Non-profit organisation in Sydney to persue my other interests in arts and craft and volunteering. My husband is a Mining Engineer who is also soon to retire from his Mining Consultacy Practice. We have 4 daughters. 3 have left home following completion of university to persue their careers and interests and our 4th daughter is 14 years and lives at home.
We love living in Paddington and would not consider living anywhere else. We love good coffee, entertaining collecting Art and mid-centry furniture. We swim all year round at a local Sydney Harbour beach 10 minutes drive from home and love retreating to a tiny mid 19th century miners cottage on the central coast to surf and enjoy the pristine environment.
