I am passionate about training, working, and breeding gundogs, particularly spaniels. I have competed in Working Trials with my own dogs. I have my own small holding and enjoy growing vegetables and producing my own meat: lamb, pork and chicken. I breed and show poultry. I enjoy all aspects of country life and country pursuits, shooting, game keeping, pest control, ferreting and outdoor activities.
