00:00I appreciate the countryside and nature more than I do because I've always up to, well actually last year, moved,
00:06but I've always lived sort of in, well in Boothal, then Walton, and I've moved to sort of more rural
00:14or semi-rural area now.
00:16I think it was when my mum passed away in 2010, and we'd always said we would travel, but she
00:24got ill, and I've regretted that, that we didn't, we had them, we'd saved up, and we didn't go on
00:31holidays.
00:32You know, I see things now, and I actually look at them and think, oh that's beautiful, like a flower
00:36or a tree.
00:38My parents, to be honest, because I grew up at the time of the Beatles, and I actually went to
00:44Greg in Rodney Street, where my parents were paying, and it was nothing for my assistant, I just sneaked down
00:50the back to get down to the cavern, not realising they were killing themselves to pay those fees, so that
00:56has been a disgrace.
00:57They've set up a big bird feeder in the back garden, and I love looking at them, all the different
01:03types of birds that come down, and they're quite the same, you can watch them all day actually.
01:07Especially when you've got your health, because once your health's gone, you can't travel, my mum had COPD, so it's
01:17not nice, so we should have, yeah, that's something we should have done, so travel, that's something I appreciate, yeah,
01:27you know, if you can afford it, do it.
