Away from the office
I live in Mudeford, Christchurch in Dorset and like to be by, or preferably in, the sea whenever possible. I spend most of my spare time at the beach playing with my two small children or doing yoga on a paddleboard.
I have been a competitive gymnast, played lacrosse for England Under 21s and am a qualified coastal skipper.
