Where did you grow up? I grew up in a small village called Rolleston between Newark and Southwell, so I have always been in the local area. There really isn’t a huge amount to do there with just a church and a pub, so I used to spend a lot of time playing outside making dens and tree houses with the other kids in the village. If I wasn’t doing that I would be at the stables with my horse, which has always been a passion of mine. Luckily this particular area is quite ‘horsey’ so it meant I could jump on my bike to get to the local riding school where we kept my first pony. What was your favourite lesson in school? I loved Drama while I was in school, so much so that I took it on to A Level. I used to really enjoy the creative side of the subject as it really allowed me to learn myself. Being a teenager is hard work and I found it was a great release. Although performing arts wasn’t something I particularly wanted to pursue into further education, I always looked forward to that class. I also later found quite a keen interest for psychology when I did my A Levels, how the human brain works is absolutely fascinating to me. What did you want to be when you grew up? Amazingly when I was in junior school I desperately wanted to be a dentist for many years!! I think this must have been before I fell into a door frame while playing with my brother at home and snapped one of my front teeth….needless to say my mother was not impressed at having to schedule multiple trips in to see the dentist and have my smile restored. This was rather an off putting experience, and therefore probably the point where my dentist dreams faded away. Following that I really struggled in which direction I would go, but one thing I was quite certain of was that I would never want to work with horses. I know first hand the amount of work just having your own is, let alone spending all day everyday battling the elements to care for them. This lack of direction meant that although I did my A Levels, university wasn’t really something I was interested in, so found a job straight out of school. What was your first job? My first job was at our local pub, waiting on and helping out with the pots in the kitchen. I wouldn’t 8
