1. What are your interests?
DIY – which is a good job given that I live in an old pub in need of major renovation.

Classic Cars – I have a couple of 70/80s classic Fords and a desire for more that way outstrips my budget!

2. What is your favourite holiday destination?
Florida – we have had some great family holidays there

3. What is your favourite food?
My particular favourite is Indian, although I am very partial to a steak and kidney pie.

4. What are your favourite drinks?
I am a fan of real ale, with a bias towards any of the Theakston brews and enjoy nothing more than a pint of Old Peculiar.
