Hobbies
Hayley is a passionate believer in life long learning and likes to take courses. Lots of courses in lots of different things. Recently, she took courses in international cookery, renaissance and modern art and pottery. Unfortunately for Hayley, she is better at reading about art than she is at producing it. This might also be said of her cooking.
