Personal
With 4 sons (Oli 9, Milo 6 and twins Ru & Beau 2), a husband and a dog to keep me busy,
there is currently little time left to pursue my personal interests. However, I am often found
singing along to the radio and am always the first to offer advice when someone else is
going to have a baby! I love Music, long country walks with my dog Toto, and
discovering great pubs with fabulous food and a good wine selection. I also love to
practice Mindfulness whenever I have a rare moment of peace and quiet;-)
