Natalie loves to sing and performs regularly with a number of local choirs, she is also an enthusiastic recreational runner and running coach and has travelled the world to run marathons. One of her proudest achievements is being a “Six Star” Marathon Majors finishers – completing London, Berlin, Boston, New York, Chicago and Tokyo marathons, all in under four hours. Sunday is usually reserved as “runday” but fortunately running is always, by natural law, followed by brunch, which will always include, probably more than one coffee and a lot of chat!
