Interests and Hobbies
Keeping fit with outdoor activity is essential to me, I start the day with 5.30am walk with my dog regardless of the weather! I try and finish the day with another hours walk, helps to unwind from a busy day. I also do quite a bit of long distance walking and mountain climbing. I enjoy getting close to nature with gardening too. Favourite sports are probably horse racing, (particularly Cheltenham Festival) and boxing. Favourite films, include Jean de Florette, Heimat and currently enjoying Game Of Thrones. Favourite book is ‘The Long Walk’ true story which is a prime example of believing you can do anything, if you believe you can. Favourite animal, my devoted Kerry Blue dog!
