Hobbies

I am a lifelong learner who enjoys hobby farming on my property with my husband John, and my dog Benson (the Agility Wonder Dog!). A dedicated foodie, I love to cook (I'll be honest, I love to eat!), and this is joyfully facilitated by tending my garden and fruit trees, and learning about regenerative agriculture. I am a keen long time equestrian, and former competitor. Now, my horse Cal and I take dressage lessons with my coach, and enjoy trail rides with friends. I have traveled the world extensively and find that I am now most content close to home and hearth, curled up with a book and a cup of tea!
