Interests

Morris dancing
I dance with two Cotswold morris sides in Kent: Oyster Morris and Bower Street Morris. We perform during the summer season so you can sometimes find me dressed in white with bells on outside a pub somewhere.

I'm second from the right in this photo of the Oyster women, taken in Deal in May 2015


Quizzing
I love a good quiz, and currently host a monthly quiz night at the Harbour Arms micropub in Margate (usually the first Wednesday of the month). I took my quiz habit to the extreme when I captained a team on the 2010 series of University Challenge. We lost quite badly, to a team who were unbelievably knowledgeable and quick on the buzzer with it.

Science fiction
Reading it, watching it, I'm not fussy.

Food and drink
Without them I would starve and dehydrate.
