Today, Dr Davies joined the Diplomatic Spouses Association for a potluck at Homewood, the residence of the British High Commissioner, complete with everyone’s favourite dishes from their home country - Dr Davies representing New Zealand well with a classic pav. Dr Davies has a particularly strong connection to the DSA, and with Homewood. His Aunt was Lady Liz Mallaby, wife of Sir George Mallaby, who served as British High Commissioner to New Zealand in the 1950s. At Lady Mallaby’s suggestion, the British Government purchased Homewood, making Sir George the first British High Commissioner to live there.
