You spend some time raising a child in London, carrying it around on one side of your body - it puts your back out!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's something about the ukulele that just makes you smile. It makes you let your guard down. It brings out the child in all of us.
My favourite thing is to come down to London from my home in Staffordshire in the helicopter and then get my bike out of the back and cycle into London. It's wonderful.
London is not a healthy place. I feel much healthier when I'm living in the countryside or, indeed, anywhere out of London. When I go back to the countryside to visit my mother, I get out of the car, and suddenly there's great wafts of fresh air.
I feel at home when I go to London.
I live in a Moomin house in East London which I fill with blankets and nice crockery and get people round for dinner. When you travel a lot, you feel rootless and adrift - this is my sanctuary, where I can breathe out.
When I'm in London I do have the convenience of being close to St James Park which is also good for me because it gives me an excuse to get out and get some much needed exercise!
In London, I take the Tube everywhere.
Never raise your hand to your children - it leaves your midsection unprotected.
When you are surrounded by children, the child in you comes back.
To carry care to bed is to sleep with a pack on your back.
