I Never Believed I Wouldn't Make It

I Was A Prefect At School, I Never Had A Tattoo, Got A Detention Or Pierced My Ears More Than Once.

I Didn't Go Nightclubbing Much As A Teenager In Bournemouth Because My Friends And I Didn't Have The Money - But We Spent A Lot Of Time On The Beach, Having Barbecues, And Running Into The Sea In The Middle Of The Night.

I Am An Optimist. I Think, As Bad As Life Sometimes Gets, There Is So Much Joy And So Much Good Stuff, That There Is A Balance.

My Mum Loves Cats So I Took Her To See The Lion Cubs Which At About A Year Old Are Actually Quite Big. She Wasn't Scared At All And Went Straight Over And Kissed One On The Mouth! She Thought They Were Just Like Her Pets At Home.

In The Past, I've Thrown Myself Into Work So Much There's Been Very Little Room For Anything Else.
