Personal profile
I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, and as a family we generally spend most of our spare time watching or playing sport. I run 5K, two to three times per week and take a yoga class another two to three times so life is pretty hectic. We enjoy skiing and watersports as a family.
Recently I have started painting and use a number of different media including charcoal, pen and ink, watercolour and acrylics.
