I enjoy walking my border terrier in the beautiful countryside around my home with my husband and daughter, particularly when we plan a route that involves a pub lunch.
My job is a sedentary one so I try to compensate with lots of exercise outside work. I enjoy cycling and regularly attend organised rides with a local group. I also enjoy running and have participated in various long distance events.
