We asked Mel – How do you usually like to unwind after a busy week?
“I enjoy a mixture of relaxation and activity. When I can, I like to spend time swimming, which is a great way to switch off. Weekends tend to be a mix of DIY and chores but, I like to spend time with my family, whether that’s visiting historical sites together or enjoying live music. A perfect Sunday evening for me would be a walk with the dog in the woods, followed by a roast dinner with my family”
