My husband and I live in beautiful Titirangi in the foothills of the Waitakere Ranges in Auckland.  Our house is surrounded by bush and overlooks the Manukau Harbour.
I am a primary school principal and my husband is semi retired and works from home. We share our lives with 2 neutered boys Impi and Louis, a retired queen Karsavina, two working girls Fille and Jazz, 2 young girls and our stud cat Romeo.  Breeding birmans is a hobby rather than a business and as our cats are an important part of our family they live with us with the exception of Kiki who has his own bachelor pad complete with sea views!.  I bought my first pet birman, a huge sealpoint named Westvue Impresario ( Impi) in 1998.  I took him to a National Birman Show and he came away with two trophies  -  Best Sealpoint N/S Kitten and Best in Show N/S kitten.  I was hooked!  I had also fallen in love with the chocolatepoints being bred by Chris Elsmore, June Mateer and Julie Simpson so at the first opportunity I purchased my first chocolatepoint queen Westvue Karsavina. 
Her first litter produced a seal male and chocolate female both of whom we kept.
The chocolate female Westvue La Belle Fille has become the most titled chocolatepoint Birman cat to date.
