I am totally Englishbut I spent my whole life basically living in other countries, well,my parents spent most of my life living in other countries. I've actuallybeen at school in England for quite a while of it. Living away fromyour own country is great. I guess it's really good when you're youngyou get to see different countries. I stopped off in Africa and Nigeria.I was actually born in England, but I went there fifteen days afterI was born so, my first plane flight was 15 days old, and I can't reallyremember obviously that much of that but then we went to Holland fornine years, which is great and it's, you know, I'm very lucky to havegrown up in a different culture, although very embarrassingly I can'sspeak the language cause I always went to an English school, but it'skind of difficult cause you, wherever you go, you make friends. Youget close to people and then suddenly you have to move, and move house,go on to somewhere else, and I found this to be the sort of hardestthing, when I was 8, I went off to boarding school in England causemy parents thought I'd get a better education that way than moving aroundto different schools all over the world,and this was you know,it was good it was fun, but something like I always envied was the way,all the other kids at school, there school friends were just their friendsin term time, but their real friends were friends that, you know, theyhad known since they were little, since you know, since they had beenborn or, you know their early school friends and they still knew themand you know even when I was 18 years old, still, my friend's from schoolhad their real friends at home who they'd known all there lives, andI've kind of always envied that because we've always been moving aroundand as I say, you know, I'm very lucky, we've been in Holland, Scotland,and Africa, and I've very lucky to have seen all of these places butit's kind of hard as well, not having a root, not having a place whereyou can actually call your home, somewhere to go back to at the endof the day and have all of your family and friends around you.
