Favourite place in the South West: My favourite go-to place when we have time is Mothercomb beach..... It's a perfect day especially if can fit in a bite to eat at the Old School House which is just beside the beach.
Favourite place to eat: So many... can't pick just one. My favourite evening out is at Smiths Wine Shop on Magdalen Road though. if you know you know, and if you don't, I highly recommend checking it out.
What job would you be terrible at? A primary school teacher, I learned the hard way through Covid just how difficult that job is.

Reaching ‘the top’ of a career looks different for everyone, it’s not a one-size-fits-all ambition.
