My Hobbies


I love puzzles that give my brain a proper workout - Killer Sudokus, cryptic crosswords, you name it!
But when I’m ready to unwind, you’ll usually find me piecing together a jigsaw or getting lost in some crochet or sewing.


There’s something really satisfying about turning a tangle of yarn or fabric into something beautiful.
It’s a mix of logic, creativity, and a little bit of patience - the perfect balance between thinking hard and switching off.
