&lt;p&gt;I moved to the UK a very long time ago (so called friends tell me I am now more British than Canadian!) and now very much see England as home. My life is a mixture of spending time with friends, borrowing the most beautiful dog (be warned - I may be a tad smitten with him!), working with business buddies as we try to grow our businesses and endeavouring to get back into horse back riding which I miss immensely.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Like many, I am a huge tennis fan for the 2 weeks of the year that Wimbledon is on!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a &lt;a href="http://itunes.bridginggaps.uk"&gt;podcast &lt;/a&gt;which is partially business and partially pleasure as I really love speaking to so many different inspiring business owners.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In spare time, I experiment with my creative side by creating new patterns and designs and enjoy photography as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I now combine my experience of planning, love of technology and talking by working with people and businesses to launch their own podcasts.&lt;/p&gt;
