About me
I love the outdoors and like to walk my family pet.
I enjoy doing crafts, watching DVDs and playing board games.
I love gardening and taking photographs of wildlife and flowers.
When I am not at home I like to do different activities. I have my own car which the team can use to support this. I have a well-planned set of activities which I attend daily. I do like to try different things so I do swap them about from time to time.
I always have two team members with me when I'm out in the community. After my activity, I like to have a cup of tea or lunch in a local restaurant. Sometimes I'll take a packed lunch and have a drive out to different parts of Cumbria to enjoy the outdoors."
