I have many interests, in many areas; with a particular passion for horticulture. This passion has led to me becoming an award-winning garden designer, with exhibits at BBC Gardeners' World Live (2011) and RHS Hampton court Palace Flower Show (2012 and 2015) combined with extensive press and television coverage.

I have been assigned various photographic projects in the past, notably for Yorkshire Life Magazine; photographing celebrities such as Jose Carreras, Howard Wilkinson, Chris Eubank and....Sooty. I have also photographed live concerts, when required, for 'Terrorizer' magazine, a leading publication in the world of extreme music.

I enjoy socialising and dining out, and I regularly attend live concerts. I have been known to 'enjoy' karaoke;

an 'unfortunate' side effect of this once resulted in an audition for 'Stars in Their Eyes' many years ago.

I consider myself to be an honest, reliable and efficient individual, with a very good sense of humour, and a friendly, positive personality.
