My origin story. I burned though the learn-to-read books and moved onto natural history. Then came The World About Us on tea time Sunday TV. Cousteau made one episode and that dear reader is why I ended up studying plant sciences and learning to dive at university.

My weirdest Christmas: I was 11 and braced for tension. Then I found my parents and step-parents in bed together
It was our first joint family Christmas, and I watched fearfully as my mum walked into the kitchen she had once called hers. The next 48 hours were full of surprises

Quick trip to Screwfix and for less than ÂŁ20 we have a new pop up waste and more left over Plumber's Mate than any non plumber will ever use.
