Current Times - Nicola Holmes

This week we hear from our newest council member and part of our Communications Team, Nicola Holmes.

• What I have missed:
• I have established I am a poor cook…I have tried and failed miserably! I have really missed going out for nice meals and not having to wash up! I also have a passion for travel (visited 14 counties in 2019). So, I have missed continuing my travelling and exploring new countries and cultures.
• What I am looking forward to:
• However, I am looking forward to getting back into travelling again when it is safe to do so without quarantining and also the small things in life such as, going out for dinner, going to the office, going to a concert and going to sporting events (huge football, boxing and F1 fan).
• What I have learnt and will be taking out of lockdown:
• I have learnt to improve my work life balance. I have embraced more ‘me’ time, taken up studying again (FCII), reading more and being more focused on my fitness (Personal bests achieved running over 5k and 10k and a new bike purchased and enjoyed regularly). Overall I have come out of lockdown developing my knowledge and learning and with improved fitness. Let’s hope I keep it up!
