Outside of work

Going to gigs locally and further afield, as well as attending the odd festival. Combining a holiday with a festival abroad.
Playing in a local netball team once a week - who are sometimes successful!
Laura recently ran the Cheltenham Half Marathon for Hughes Paddison’s Charity of the Year, Winston’s Wish, and I am hoping to keep up running, although not such great distances!
