10:05 Farmer and children's writer Hayley Pitts
Children's author Hayley Pitts lives on the remote Mount Gladstone station in the Marlborough high country. She combines writing with home-schooling her two young boys and helping her husband on the farm.
Some of the proceeds from her first book, Mac: A High Country Working Dog, go to the Life Flight air rescue trust - she has been an avid supporter of it since it came to her aid after she was injured while on a horse trek. She has a new book that's about to go on sale - it's about her horse Storm.
