Family tree

MEET + GREET

 Michelle Wilson, 46 (part-time accounts manager), and Brent Smith, 48 (sales manager), plus Monty the cavoodle.

If walls could talk, Michelle Wilson’s home would be able to tell tales of her family stretching back nearly 80 years. The Christchurch house she shares with partner Brent Smith was built for her grandparents in the 1940s; it’s the home her mother grew up in and the setting of many of Michelle’s treasured childhood memories.
