Personal

Rebecca loves spending time outdoors, whether walking her energetic 3 year old German shepherd or riding her horse - though she does prefer the fair weather version of outdoor life! She enjoys travelling and has recently explored Japan and South Korea, with plenty more places still to tick off her list. Rebecca never tires of simple pleasures, like starting her day with the smell of fresh bread and a cup of Yorkshire tea and relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening sun (when the Yorkshire weather actually allows it!).
