A caravan. I was brought up going on caravan holidays – but we quickly realised that a double-axle caravan was too much of a commitment and sold it.

A wedding, in 2012.

I collect old costumes: I have one of Johnny Cash’s, and Liberace’s shoes.

Three mature palm trees. We restored a property in Italy that had been derelict and I needed to make it look established as quickly as I could.

A cellist, inspired by my mum and dad’s friendship with Jacqueline du Pré, and seeing a documentary about her.

In my childhood, when I didn’t think about whether it was happy. It just was.

Dawn French, because I am sitting next to her and she says if I don’t say her, she will hurt me.

I would like the poem Cherish by Raymond Carver. It was read by my dad at my wedding, and is my absolute favourite.

Listening to the last 10 minutes of the podcast S-Town. It is one of my favourite reminders of what life is truly all about.

I’ve been to two postmortems in real life, and spent the last 14 years talking about death at work – so, pretty close.
