My favourite childhood book

It's tough to choose just one! My top three would be Harry Potter (about a boy in a magical land), Artemis Fowl (also about a boy in a magical land), and The Wreck of the Zanzibar (not about a boy in a magical land!)

Here's a snap I took in Upper Beeding. I think it looks like different seasons!

The things I do for fun

I'm a big music fan: I listen to it, I dance to it, and I create it!

I enjoy writing poems and sharing them with my poetry club in Steyning. Feel free to read some of my poems here.

You can also find me teaching computer skills to older people in and around Upper Beeding. It's great to see them get to grips with their new devices!

A surprising fact about me

Hmm, a surprising fact... oh how about this one? I rang the bells at Jamie Theakston's wedding!

I've been a bell-ringer since I was 11 and I jumped at the chance to ring for this one. Especially, as I later found out, his guests included footballer Ian Wright and David Walliams!
