I work in the food industry looking after all aspects of food safety. My role has involved leading and coaching others to become good technical people which has given me a great deal of satisfaction watching them work their way up the ranks. Although I am career orientated I enjoy time out and love the outdoors. I especially enjoy walking in Cumbria and tootling around on my bike. I say tootling because I am not a serious cyclist. It's more about getting some exercise and fresh air than winning a race. Quite happy to make a packed lunch for a long hike but love eating out when good food is available. Will dress up for special occasions but I am most happy in a pair of cut offs and my Berghaus. I spend as much time outdoors as possible but on a cold winter night you may find me in the gym, sauna and jacuzzi. Occasionally when I need time out I will visit the spa for a totally relaxing experience. Although I have spent time in Cumbria I am open to exploring other areas of the UK and would like to go abroad as well. I am open to new life experiences and have enjoyed paragliding, hot air ballooning, abseiling, surfing and speed boating. I am definitely not a surfer though. I regularly cook for family and love getting round the table for a get together and a catch up. Although I plan I can also be impulsive and spontaneous. I am very active and rarely sit still hence the spa days. Would be nice to find someone to have a cosy night in by the fire with and watch a film or two.
