    I've enjoyed playing 5-a-side footballer as a goalkeeper since University when I was nicknamed "Graham the Cat".  Having remained relatively injury free for most of that time, I've now broken 3 different fingers in the last 2 years!

    I have an ex-racehorse (Frank Cool) – as my first horse he’s now living out the dream of a pony-mad kid and for the last year has been taking part in low-level riding club activities, usually against children and their ponies! However, we were awarded the ROR Horse of the Year and Most Improved Showjumper trophies at our riding club awards in 2025 – not bad for our first year of taking part!
