Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but I also know that funny outlasts pretty any day of the week.

In the good old days when there was no social media and no mobile phones, when you were forced to actually physically meet someone and you often mixed in the same social groups, there was a sense of accountability about things.

I tend to live my life for me. Because I was unfaithful in my first marriage, that doesn't reflect particularly well, whereas I'm pretty sure if I'd been a man, it would have been passed over.

The behaviour of the child more often than not comes down to the parenting. And before you ask, no, I didn't get it all right. One thing I did get right, I believe, is to make my children understand that the world did not revolve around them at all times.

Parenting is a rollercoaster of baloney with no instruction manual. We just have to do our best.

Living as we do in an over-stimulative world where kids are brought up on an all-you-can-eat buffet of technological gadgets, screens and electronic games, it's really important they have a break from that and tap into their imagination.
