I am married with a son. I enjoy keeping fit through walking my dog, cycling, running and archery. I spend most of my spare time maintaining the garden and keeping Koi Carp. I am a keen football, cricket and rugby supporter., With my wife and dogs, I’ll visit a garden centre or historic house with a formal garden most weekends. I enjoy listening to sports podcasts and music. Once a year I’ll go and see a mega pop group in concert.
