Personal Information
Hobbies: Work and family take up most of my time but on the odd occasion I get some free time I like to play guitar in my band or write and produce solo material. I have a passion for animals which currently includes my dog, my fish tanks and a lizard. It has also included stick insects, guinea pigs and others. My partner has an allotment which I enjoy helping with and as a family we enjoy visiting other cultures abroad.
