Jane grew up in Whanganui, New Zealand, but left for the lights of London 30-plus years ago, enjoying a certain success in corporate life. She gained a Masters in Adult Learning from Middlesex University during a second career coaching leaders of transformational change.
In 2020, she returned to New Zealand for a long-planned sabbatical, covering 17,500km. Enchanted by the quality of local light and scenery, Jane chose to make Tasman her home for half the year.
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple tree
Not known because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between the two waves of the sea.
TS Elliot, Four Quartets
