Out Of The Practice

Spending her personal time creatively, Paula enjoys cooking when she is out of the practice. She can make her own sourdough bread and is enthusiastic about her artistic endeavours. Musically driven, she has sung since she was a child. She sang in various church and semi-pro choirs and enjoyed classical vocal and violin throughout school. More recently, Paula has enjoyed performing more contemporary music with Ben at various functions and parties, and is often heard singing in the surgery!

When she is not singing or baking, Paula loves the outdoors and the environment. Their garden, which she has recently redesigned, is home to the plants and veg that Paula likes to grow and bring to life. She also has two energetic dogs.

Charity Work

Paula is known for her charity work and is continuously looking for ways to change lives for the greater good. Supporting Children in Need, and taking part in the 100 year commemoration of the end of the First World War in the practice are some of the fun things she has done over the years. She also supports various charities, such as the following:
