Interesting / fun facts

  • I have just discovered the benefits of yoga and enjoy going to a class weekly.
  • I enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures with Vietnam, Canada and Bali being the top 3 destinations of my current list.
  • I love animals and seeing them in their own habitats, I recently saw a sloth and a tree frog on a night time walk with a guide in Costa Rica which was fascinating as were the howler monkeys swinging through the trees and making lots of noise and the abundance of beautiful birds such as parrots and toucans.
  • I have a family pet dog who is a red fox labrador, she is very clever as she collects the post, collects my husbands shoes when it is time for a walk and comes and tells us when it is tea time at exactly 6 o'clock!
