Beyond work, Andrew often finds himself at peace while fishing on the River Severn.

In addition to his love for fishing Andrew has a penchant for travel and gardening, the latter often being a relaxed affair involving wine and a seat. Andrew is best described as reliable, reserved, and harbouring a dry wit. A recent discovery revealed a greater Viking ancestry over Saxon, albeit without the horns.
