Outside of teaching I illustrate and write stories and poems for children, mostly aimed at junior age and early teens though I have illustrated books for early years too. My current books are ,"What's that all about then?" aimed at Juniors and early teens which I have written and illustrated myself and another book called "A slice of cake”for early years and infants written by Nebras Hassan and illustrated by myself. I also have taught meditation and relaxation through Tai Chi for many years.
