I'm a researcher by day and enjoy reading, arts, gardening, cuisine, language learning and travel in my spare time. I have a foster cat who has kept me company during COVID, despite being alone in quarantine. I studied French in university and used to be fairly fluent, but without frequent use I find it's starting to slip - would love to practice! Currently learning Italian and German. One day - Spanish, Farsi, Gaelic, Ancient Greek and Egyptian Hieroglyphics.
