Born: Clarence Street Maternity Home, Gloucester

High point of Gloucester life: Mostly when I left it, which I did soon after I was a student.

So why did he come back? I just don't know; accident - something happened - I drifted this way, when I came to it it felt like an old glove being put on so I stayed - again.

I don't like the way everything seems to be dying - businesses, city centre, trade, you name it.

I like the place that I'm in, the garden. It's very near the cathedral, it's isolated, it's full of greenery, birds, foxes, hedgehogs. You can't see anybody else, I can hear the traffic but it's outside the garden.
