Hi everyone!
I grew up in the middle of England, playing in abandoned allotment gardens and riding my bicycle for miles and miles. My school and my local town had good libraries so I could always get hold of a new book to sink into.

My son, Ewan, is a student in Brighton and spends a lot of time living in a tent at festivals.
