Reading, camping, cooking and Gardening

I thoroughly enjoy spending time in nature, which i find quite cathartic. I can often be found in my front or backyard gardening, walking my dog and as a family we love to go camping whenever we get the chance. Additionally, i have always been an avid reader, particularly non fiction crime and mystery novels.
