My passions are as many as my inspirations:   an evening in the opera or a nice jazz club is the perfect relaxation for me, followed by an exquisite dinner and vintage champagne.   I love all kinds of outdoor activities - skiing, tennis, swimming, travelling.   My other passion is literature. Since my childhood I’ve been reading two books per week ranging from novels, biographies and history through to Victorian erotica… especially when I am alone on a cold winter night! I love reading anything that stimulates my mind or body!
