Affiliations

I have four children and enjoy supporting them in their activities. My husband and I have recently bought a sailing yacht and spend as much time as possible in Mallorca. We live in the countryside and I love being outdoors, either in the garden or enjoying the South Downs on my doorstep. I have had a pony for 16 years and ride him as often as possible. We also have chickens and other animals I have run a couple of marathons but can’t say I massively enjoyed them! I am currently an ambassador for the charity 5k your way. I also am a medical advisor for a Breast Cancer Charity called Coppa Feel. I am a good cook and love entertaining friends and family but also enjoy a bit of down time with a good book!.
