Personal Interests:
My spare time the weekends are usually taken up with watching my sons play football and rugby. I like to try and and get in a game of golf.

I also enjoy reading novels that allow me to escape a bit. I am particularly keen on books by the the authors Ian Rankin, Ken McClive and Anthony Beevor. I am also fascinated by the Kennedys.
