You must remember I was a townie, and in the town, as a child, you can’t see very far before you see a building can you really? … you can’t even see the horizon, the proper horizon, because it’s knocked off by buildings. And of course getting to Staffordshire, where we were, it was incredible because I could see a big, huge sky. I could see the hills round the back and to the right there was a pine forest … And it was just amazing to be in the countryside and see cows and sheep … I saw lambs being born once in the spring you know it was staggering.
