About me

Who am I?

Tony Pritchard; born in Wellington and retired to the Kapiti Coast. Long-time married with three adult children and three grandchildren. A degree in science, majoring in botany (I liked drawing). Careers first in the Ministry of Works as a water-quality chemist, then in the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research as a scientific editor (mainly ecology), then some freelancing, and finally in the Ministry of Health publishing health statistics. I have a wide range of past and present hobbies, interests and passions.

The Covid-19 lockdown (25 March to 8 June 2020) was an opportunity for my wife and I to do many things that we would have been too busy to do otherwise. One of them was to write stories for our grandchildren. We managed to produce 117 in total. Many of the stories are very personal to the family, but there are quite a few that I’ll be putting on this site.
