Fun fact or personal detail

In my personal life, you’ll often find me on the football pitch coaching my son’s team, The Wasps. Being involved in their growth and teamwork is incredibly rewarding! Off the pitch, I love diving into Scottish history with my kids - it’s always fun to bring the past to life in our conversations. And to mix things up, I love exploring the mysteries of space and discussing the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Whether it's history or the cosmos, I’m always up for an intriguing conversation!
