When I'm not working I enjoy a number of hobbies and pastimes, time permitting. I still enjoy photography but use my Nikon D50 to take photographs of textures for my Vue images as well as taking landscapes which are always my favourite subject and the scenes I emulate in Vue, as well as those images I can conjure up in my mind. I also enjoy kite flying, both stunt kites and power kites, motorcycles and flying. I also enjoy cooking especially Mediterranean foods in particular Greek and Italian dishes

I have always been passionate about natural history and wildlife. I keep snakes and have a mature female Corn snake and 8 Royal Pythons a collection which is likely to grow and I am hoping to breed them in a couple more years time. I love to go walking, and always take my camera.
