April 20, 2018 rendez-vous 5
with Marewa Glover
Thank you Marewa for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourself?
Marewa Glover: Fresh white clouds are chasing the last of the summer rays across the sky above me. I can smell the damp earth from last night’s rain. The scent of flowers, the bush, the sea... these are the aromas of what is now our almost Smokefree New Zealand. If I’m bothered by particles blown on the breeze, it’s pollen or the occasional whiff of smoke from a neighbour’s chimney. It’s a very different atmosphere to the one I grew up with which, from birth, smelt of cigarettes.
