Q. Favourite Christmas movie:

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ as it shows the positive impact one person can have upon so many lives or ‘The Holiday’ because I would love to spend Christmas in Kate Winslet’s  country cottage.

Q. Favourite Christmas book:

It would probably have to be A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

Q. Favourite Christmas food:

A roast turkey or chicken dinner with all the trimmings, – minus the sprouts :-).

Q. One of the best things about Christmas:

There’s something very special about driving to see family early on a frosty Christmas morning when the roads are empty. Also walking my dog on a beach on Boxing Day and seeing him chase the ball along the tide’s edge.
