      I like to cycle when I can and I attempt to play the Sax (very badly). I also like reading. I like cycling because I like to be out in the open air and its a great way to get about and keep fit at the same time. The Sax because I love the sounds you can get from a Sax (not mine ! at the moment) and reading because its a way of experiencing so many different things through the experience of others.. and the stories often make me laugh !

      Hello again bones,
      Apart from running (my main focus in life!) I also have an interest in military history. Mostly I blame my dad whi is into it, poking about old battlefields, reading about contemporary soldiers accounts about their experiences etc.

      Hello Bones,
      Yes, I like to run. I find it cathartic, especially if I have been to a particularly unpleasant collision. The South Downs are only a mile os away so, even at night (thanks to the light pollution in Brighton) I can still get out on the Downs and run. I also like cycling, gardening, and working on our organic allotment. Family life is also very important to me, although my daughters are of Uni age now.

      Hi

      All my hobbies are non-scientific (in comparison to my work), such that I can break from it. I teach acrobatics and go skiing. These give me a complete break from using my brain in a ‘forensics’ way!
