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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I don't like crowds, I live by the sea - that's what I see when I come out of my house in Bridlington.
I used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house.
It is quite hard to relax in London. I always say I'd move somewhere quieter, but I am a bit of a confirmed urbanite now - it crept up on me without me noticing. I always think that I function quite well on my own, unusually so, but then I'm reminded how important people are to me.
At home, I hardly ever leave London. I don't like the countryside in England.
I visit London several times a year. It is my home away from home.
My flat in Ladbroke Grove, west London, is in the best building in the world. It's like a commune - everyone gets on - and on Friday evenings I often cook us all dinner.
I spend so much of my time working away, but I love being here. My family is in Somerset, and this is where my heart is.
My house is my refuge, an emotional piece of architecture, not a cold piece of convenience.
I love going to London for a couple of days but I need to be in the country. I like the silence, the smell and the seasonal changes, especially in spring and summer. I really feel that I belong there.
I live in a flat in central London. I do like it there; there's always stuff going on. But I do crave a bit of peace and quiet.
