Even on holidays, I wake up early, and by 7 A.M., I am out sightseeing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I go to a lot of events morning, noon and night when I'm not in Washington.
Also, I walk and hike in several different nearby parks near our home several early mornings a week.
On the morning, Daddy and I get up at six o'clock because Christmas trees must be bought in the dark. We walk to the other end of town, as the big harbour is just the right setting for buying a Christmas tree. We spend hours choosing, looking at every branch suspiciously. It's always cold.
I generally wake up, exercise and read through a huge amount of newspapers. I get to the office somewhere between 7:30 and 8:00 - my brothers and I are always the first ones in.
Wherever I am, I start my day, it's the same. I'm not an early bird. I'm not waking up at five o'clock, six o'clock; it's usually seven-thirty, eight o'clock, and I will then read the newspapers, emails from around the world and make phone calls.
I always wake up 10 minutes before I have to be anywhere.
I typically wake up at 5:30, and that's my time. I read newspapers, have coffee.
I'm lucky in that I travel a lot for work. I also manage several holidays a year. I'm not someone who sits in the sun or goes sightseeing, though. If I go away, it will be for fishing or something like that.
I'm not one for sightseeing or going around the shops when I'm on holiday. I do enough shopping when I'm at home, and like to have a complete break when I'm away.
I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time, I don't need holidays, I just stop working.
