Literature and theatre are two of my passions. I enjoy pottering around at home and reading books as much as i enjoy going out, socialising, and seeing all sorts of plays/performances.

I've been told I'm a mixture of old-fashioned and contemporary. I hold strong views on certain issues but I always try to see the other side of the coin as well.

I'm trying to put in place a work/life balance so that I spend as much time doing fun stuff as I do working hard. That said, I'm working on my first book which involves a lot of hard work

I won't admit anything private on here...
