Hobbies

As a historian, my primary love is History and I can often be found at museums, seminars or public talks at the British Library and other institutions. I am also a keen hiker and theatre-goer having previously worked in both amateur and semi-professional theatre as a lighting technician and occasional stage manager. In addition, I enjoy knitting, sewing and baking.
