I am a huge reader; I have always had my head in a book since I was tiny. I also love reading aloud to my children and doing the characters' voices! One of my heroes is Michael Rosen; I am inspired by his connection with children, his ability to engage them, make them laugh and make reading accessible.
I also love music and trees!!

As you can imagine, I love technology. My free time is usually spent tinkering with gadgets, 3D printing things, or writing code. Outside of that, I'd be playing Minecraft with my son. He's obsessed!

Also, I'm a massive football fan. I will watch every single game I can get away with(Minecraft usually takes priority!). I, of course, support Brighton & Hove Albion.

I swim or practise yoga every other day, and am an avid reader (mostly thrillers). I love spending as much time as possible with my Grandchildren and seem to have much more time/patience for the “why do” conversations than I did with my own children.
I enjoy gardening, crafts, food and the outdoors, all my family are enthusiastic foragers. I am gradually travelling around the world (in bi-annual fortnightly periods until I fully retire).
