About
6) I tried to cure my fear of flying by doing a solo parachute jump. I broke my arm on the way out of the plane and landed 10 square miles away from the landing spot, face down in a cornfield. Weirdly, I’m no longer scared of flying.
7) Neon colours make my mouth water. I had to resist sinking my teeth into the kids’ brand-new pots of day-glow play dough back in the day.
8) It took me 40 years to figure out what I wanted to do for a living. I tried so many different jobs for size and paid attention to the bits that I loved. The result? The very best training I could have to do this work, now for people like you.
9) I love, love, LOVE Prince. If a song of his comes on the radio while we’re eating tea I declare a dance break and we stop eating to strut our tiny, purple thangs while it’s on.
10) If it was a life-or-death situation I’d pick: trees over sea, cheese over chocolate and sunsets over sunrises every time (but I’d rather have them all, thank you very much).
