Leisure

Paula lives in Devon and certainly loves where she lives and works. Outside of the office Paula likes to attend networking events and support the local business communities and keep up to date with planning proposals and business activities generally. She undertakes property renovation in her spare time and enjoy long walks and cycling all over the UK and holidays abroad. She will at some point buy another horse, possibly, oh maybe some chickens…and acquire more pets since riding and having a lot of animals around her brings her so much pleasure.
