Let’s find out a little more

What is your perfect weekend?

I love to walk, so for me it would be going out with my walking club, stopping off for a pub lunch (mid-way of course, or maybe slightly earlier!) Then getting home, cooking a nice evening meal and eating it! Quite a lot of food involved!

Where is your favourite place in the world?

I loved visiting Thailand and would fully recommend to everyone. Enjoyed the warm weather, the great people and of course the food!

If you could be one age for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

I’d say 30 I think. Before I had kids (who I love dearly) when I could go travelling with my husband.

Last book your read and film you watched and would recommend?

Film: ‘Blade Runner’ was the last film I watched as a reminder before the second film comes out (it’s released very soon and I’m excited)

Book: ‘Friend Request’ by Lara Marshall. She is a local Tonbridge mum and a fantastic author. I’m in a local book club so get to enjoy a variety of books and this was certainly a good read.

Who is your inspiration?

It’s not just one person. My mum, my husband Elliot and my two boys. They give me the inspiration for what I do everyday.

What is most adventurous thing you’ve done?

There’s a few things, but I can’t choose. I’ve been canoeing down the Ardelle River, jumped off cliffs in Ibiza (into water!), walked a marathon over the Seven Sisters and most recently started standing on my head in yoga!

If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Apples!

If you won the lottery, what is the first thing that you would buy?

A Goldendoodle. Once I’ve bought the dog, we’d need a bigger house so I’d build that, designed by husband of course.

What is creativity to you?

Thinking differently or solving visual puzzles to communicate an idea. It always needs to look nice as well!
