Last book you read?
Unless you include Open University Psychology materials then ‘Rough Music by Patrick Gale’. The best book I ever read was by a journalist Ivan Noble – a very moving diary about his experience of a brain tumour...

Favourite line from a film?
"Life is like a box of chocolates..... You never know what you’re gonna get"(Forrest Gump)  Very true!

Your best day at Impact (so far...)?
Winning the cash prize in aid of Comic Relief at our Irish lunch : )

Who makes you laugh?
Apart from my significant other of course,...it has to be Father Ted and the gang – hilarious!!

Last journey you took?
Huge move to Cumbria last year from Oxfordshire...

What’s on your desk?
Bagpuss, photos, a painted rock and a pink paperweight

Favourite place?
For eating truly wonderful food – West Beach restaurant in Bournemouth overlooking the beach.  For breathtaking scenery it has to be Cumbria (of course!) or the southern tip of Cornwall....

3 people you’d have dinner with (dead or alive)?
Marilyn Monroe to find out if she jumped or was she pushed!  Maybe David Attenborough to find out more about all the truly spectacular things he’s experienced and seen... Stephen Fry or Eddie Izzard – both very humorous, intelligent and interesting!
