Simone Walters
Business Owner of Waltlec Industries
Suburb: Belgian Gardens.
AKA: Simmy or Simbot.
I’m renowned for: Talking! Actually talking a lot. I love and enjoy every person’s life story and sharing mine.
Only a local would know… how to operate an air conditioning remote control at five years old.
My most memorable holiday was… Dubai 2008 with my husband to design my engagement ring.
Right now I wish I was… laying on the beach at Alma Bay.
My favourite day is: Christmas… I love seeing my children’s faces full of excitement.
The biggest influence in my life is: My children. I will never forget the first time we met and how it took my breath away that you could love something so unconditionally.
The funniest thing that ever happened to me was… thinking I had won $30 million in first division Lotto a couple of years ago. I checked the ticket online and was certain I had all the required numbers. Interrupted my husband’s night at State of Origin to announce…. “WE WON, WE WON!!” Only for him to check the ticket and point out I was missing two essential numbers. We won $300 in third division… a little disappointing when you had already planned your retirement!
Someone famous I met was: Unfortunately no A-list celebrities. I have met a few well-known horse trainers at various race meets we have attended. Peter Moody and Gai Waterhouse.
My motto is: Enjoy the little things for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things!
MY FAVOURITE:
Song: What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
Shop: Lorna Jane
Eat: Chocolates
Drink: Coffee
