Hobbies: All sports. kayaking is my love after Hockey and SUP is a new hobby I’ve taken up recently since my move north. My lockdown hobby was going to be the Ukulele but I didn’t get much further than buying one and learning 4 cords! I equally love curling up with a book, I have a secret ancient history fascination and love wandering around bookshops adding to my collection.
