I was a bit of a late developer, and everyone was saying, 'Whatever you do, don't shave,' and I hadn't really started shaving. I remember rubbing the soot from a kettle on to my bumfluff to make it look more like I had a beard.

If someone shaves, I'm shaving too. It's something that kind of started and I'm waiting for someone to shave so I can shave. But I'm not going to be the first one.

Such a one do I remember, whom to look at was love.

I have friends who are blacksmiths in the north of Scotland, so I took a few master classes with,them. I loved learning a new skill. I will never look at a piece of wrought iron the same way now. I can now make semi-decent knife blades and candlesticks myself.

You can't grow a beard if you shave

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.
