Personal Information
Hobbies: I am an ardent sports fan and enjoy playing netball regularly as vice-captain of my team. Amateur photography is also a hobby, and my partner and I enjoy caravan holidays during the summer months. I love attending the theatre, especially musicals, and have been lucky enough to attend two masterclasses in theatres in the West End. In 2002, I took a career break to travel, visiting Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Singapore, the USA, Canada, and the Cayman Islands. I have subsequently travelled to the Philippines, cruised around the Mediterranean Sea and Norwegian Fjords, undertaken a road trip across Europe to Croatia, and travelled by train to and around Italy, amongst other trips.
