Play

When not at work, Nathan enjoys spending quality time with his friends and family. Weekends are often spent at the stables with his niece, who proudly calls him her favourite uncle (according to Nathan, that is). When time and weather permit, you can find him either relaxing in the garden with a glass of wine and a good book or in the kitchen cooking and entertaining.
