Interests

I am an animal lover and currently have four dogs that keep me very busy., I of course, have a passion for photography, and still enjoy taking photos in my spare time.

I also love to travel, and my husband and I often take our holidays in locations where we can indulge in one of our other passions scuba diving.

I am from a very close family and we all love getting together as often as we can.
