- Watching a programme on BBC4 about shipwrecks and they bring up the wrecking that went on in my village in the 19th century. LISTEN... we are much better about that now.

- When I was doing the Life in the UK test, (over a decade ago) I met this young lady also doing the test. She came from Afghanistan as a young child. (Her path to citizenship had been a long journey) She had a Devon accent, and she still had to do the test to prove she could speak/write English.
- Where I wish to reside.
- I am at the school play that my younger kid is in. My favourite part is looking at the cast list and seeing how parents are naming kids. (The kids are secondary school aged)
- I know I don't need to prove my value as an immigrant to the UK but come on... I have created effing literature that resides in the British library, I have produced two gorgeous smart children with incredible cheekbones and hair. I regularly give you taxes so we can have roads and stuff.
