The person

Most of Ruth, and her husband Jonathon’s, time is spent with their two school-aged kids. In winter they head to Mt Ruapehu to go skiing and in summer can be found at Riversdale Beach in the Wairarapa.

When Ruth gets time to herself she manages to fit in some vintage shopping, running with friends and pilates.
