What’s a movie or book that inspired you to travel? . . . Or below! I’ve never been inspired by a book to travel. Or a movie. Because my mother was born in Europe but my Dad was English, I was, very early in my life, taken to my Mum’s birth land along with my…

If you had to be an animal for a week, which one would you be and why? What do you mean why? They can talk, they’re intelligent, they have loads of fun, swimming and water aerobics goes with the territory- so what’s not to like! OK sometimes you can have an argybargy* with an orca.…

What’s something you used to believe as a kid that seems ridiculous now? I’m pretty sure this saying – not learned from my parents – led to a real nightmare. I’d heard other kids in my street say this and didn’t know what it was about. I don’t remember ever asking my parents or 4…

What’s a piece of media (book, movie, song) that changed how you see the world? was a movie in the 80’s. I’d heard about race issues in the States.
