Camping with my parents in the south of France. We went every year with the beautiful bell tent they made on a sewing machine. We even had a lavatory tent which was fabulous except, one day, it blew away with my father in it.
Relaxing with family and friends.
Becoming a mum quashed so many demons within me, and gave me confidence and a sense of calm.
During the first week or two of lockdown. We didn’t know what was coming and it didn’t feel dangerous at that point; there was just a real sense of family and hunkering down.
I couldn’t do it. I realised recently that all the things that have gone wrong are just as important as all the things that went right.
My girlfriend. I am away a lot and, as much as she understands, I’d like to say sorry for not being there.
Everything in my head.
My left foot. (I’m great with my right – I can bend it like Beckham.)
