I love my friends and family dearly, but my favorite living creature to connect with is my cat. He's a complete lunatic that gets zoomies at ridiculous times and needs to be next to me at all times. He has a soul patch and I can't help but think in another life he would have been a Jazz bass player, hence his name, Andre. Coming home to his antics after a stressful day is just the best

I love cycling, and try to cycle the 9 miles into work at least once a week, which takes me along the river Lea, through the olympic park and then along the Greenway (although recently the weather has not made this easy!)

It does mean at the right time of year I am on the river just as the sun is rising which is wonderful

My mum teaches languages, and although I have tried to keep up, the one language she has mastered that I find impossible is Russian. So every couple of weeks when I see her on a Sunday, we spend an hour going through some Russian vocabulary and grammar.

To motivate any of you to learn Russian, I offer you the most heartwarming animation of all time, Ёжик в тумане (Hedgehog in the Fog)
