While not working...

An avid traveller and keen photographer, I am fortunate to have been able to combine both hobbies on multiple memorable road trips with my family, most recently around Iceland and across the Canadian Rockies from Vancouver to Calgary.

I enjoy gardening & landscaping, as well as carpentry and most forms of DIY and I am currently an active member of my local Tidy Towns organisation.

To keep fit, I enjoy walking & cycling and have recently taken up kayaking. I enjoy most sports and am a passionate supporter of Liverpool FC.
