Yeah, one every year.
Yeah.
And funnily enough, I met one of them years later.
We worked out.
I was working somewhere and we worked out.
We're both from Harvard and things and we worked out.
I was like,
you're one of the 20.
And so we made this connection many years later.
But, you know, but average family sizes were sort of seven to, you know, six to seven children on the farm.
People would be looking, having bigger families and things.
And then my parents split and we moved very short time into the local town, into the town, into the Hauara Township.
and I started Hauara High School, and then my mum decided, she was in travel and decided to move to Auckland, so I followed her and was pretty keen to make that move and get out of town.
And I think, if you're speaking to my mum, and unfortunately she's on holiday overseas at the moment, but she and I get on extraordinarily well, and she...
was a real go-getter.
Like she was always designed to be in a city.
I don't know, you know, so she came from another small town in Taranaki called Inglewood and she ended up here.
I followed and very quickly I realised there was a big world outside.
Because when you're in a small town, you are literally, and I always think back, the weather plays a massive part of your life, particularly if you're growing something.
You're constantly thinking about seasons.
