I will be looking to spend some enabling time to access some of my hobbies and interests and once the team have become established and familiar with routines etc. I’m aiming to enjoy being out of my home. I enjoy music and arts and I used to cycle a lot.
I enjoy watching TV, especially programs about the great outdoors. I used to produce music and my band friends visit me occasionally. I love dogs and have benefited from spending time with other people’s dogs in the past and therefore would be interested in doing this again where possible.
