Who makes you laugh? Tommy Cooper always makes me laugh.
Proudest moment? Working with my eldest daughter Milly, although I have never told her that!
Dinner out or at home? Normally at home. I like cooking, especially Sunday roasts.
...and a favourite tipple to go with it...
a nice glass of red wine.
You have a day off, what do you do? If I have a day off I’m normally at home. I have been involved with Point to Point horse racing since I was a small child, so for six months of the year I’m normally found in the middle of a field watching or leading one of my horses round.
If money was no object, where would you visit? This is where Jane and I differ alot, I’m happy to go to Yorkshire for a week, where as Jane would go anywhere in the world... ...except Yorkshire!
Dog, cat or iguana – who’s at home? Two dogs at home (labrador) Poppy and (German Shepherd) Stan, a few chickens, 3 old ducks and two 3-year-old horses which were brought as foals. Stan’s in charge of all of them, and us!!
