Away from work, you are more than likely to see me adorning a beer garden with the family (weather permitting), depressed at Ewood Park watching my beloved Blackburn Rovers or indulging in the downhill pub crawl also known as skiing! Previous lives have seen me be a swimmer and very poor water polo player.
