1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: I there's some people that you meet and they just 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: inject you with all of the fuzzies. For me, that 3 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: has been Audrey Lilly. She was on the TV yesterday 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: and I was lucky enough to sit down with her 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: at Meffin House on the weekend and got to learn 6 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: a bit of her life story. So I grew up 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: on the farm at Lyndhurst. 8 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 2: What was your favorite part about growing up on the farm. 9 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 3: I was a house burd and my sister was. She 10 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 3: was always outside the farm. 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 4: Work wasn't quite for you? No, I'm much the same, 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 4: to be fair. Look at these DJ hands. They're not 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 4: built for physical work, which are cap love. 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: I could move a break fence. 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 3: Well, that's big. 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't so modest beginnings. Then worked as a headdresser 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: across both christ Church and Ashburton. To this day sports 18 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: an immaculate hairdoo, still with an illustrious crops thinning far 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: quicker than I like to admit. So I asked Audrey, 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: and perhaps this is sort of linked to it. What's 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: as every media person does. What sort of your key 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: to longevity? And she said, there's no real secret, it's 23 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: just making sure you put in the right stuff. 24 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: Was a house addict, you know, love eating the right food. 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 3: I was always conscious of it. Yeah, I loved healthy food. 26 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: Have you ever had McDonald's. 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 3: Oh, well there was Mindula's around one. No, we didn't. 28 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 4: Never had McDonald's. No, if I were to bring you 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 4: a big mac, would you? Would you take it by? 30 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: Maybe very polite way to decline? Isn't it once a habit? 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: Always have it? For the past forty odd years, she 32 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: has called this meth and house home. 33 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 3: Oh, this has been my home for well many years. 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: I've got a sweet. 35 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: It's a sweet sweet.
