Leisure
Welcome to my personal space where I share my passions and hobbies. Whether it's hitting the target in archery, enjoying the outdoors with canicross, or finding tranquility on my allotment, these activities bring balance and joy to my life. Explore and discover what inspires me.
Archery
My passion for archery began in the 1980s, and over the years, it has become an integral part of my life. I have had the honour of representing both Gloucestershire and Worcestershire in various competitions, showcasing my dedication and skill in this timeless sport. As a proud member of Cheltenham Archers, I continue to hone my abilities and share my enthusiasm with fellow archers. Archery is more than just a hobby for me; it's a lifelong journey of precision, focus, and community.
Canicross
Canicross has become one of my favourite pastimes, bringing joy and adventure into my life as I run with my dog, Betty. Together, we've explored the beautiful landscapes of the country, from 5k runs to the challenge of ultra-marathons. While the distances vary, the fun and companionship we share remain constant. For me, canicross is not about competition but about the pure enjoyment of running side by side with my loyal friend, discovering new trails, and embracing the thrill of the journey.
Allotment and Gardening
I find great joy and relaxation tending to my allotment. It’s a peaceful escape where I can immerse myself in nature, nurturing plants from seed to harvest. The rhythmic tasks of digging, planting, and watering provide a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether I'm growing fresh vegetables or vibrant flowers, my allotment is a sanctuary that refreshes my mind and spirit.
