I am a full time designer in the construction industry. I like to spend my spare time walking with my dog, cooking interesting new dishes and making things. This ranges from soap and bath bombs to fluffly slippers. I love learning new things and have studied quite a number of courses on Open Learn, including poetry and short story writing. I am in a happy relationship and I have four grown up children. Covid has isolated us all to a certain degree and I feel that communicating with people across the globe can help to remove that isolation.
