Gardening is, apart from having children, the most rewarding thing in life

I love Paris for its wide boulevards and cafes, and Rome for the ancient history, as seen at the Forum.

Be kind to your garden and be gentle on your back!

I'm a big fan of the Queen. She carries herself well, as does the Prince of Wales, despite getting lots of stick.

I've covered a lot of the British countryside and the UK from top to bottom and side to side. It's such a pity more people don't appreciate what's on their doorstep.

My wife and I always have a winter holiday that I call the "fly and flop". In January and February, you don't want culture, you just want to get your bones warm and eat, drink, sleep. We usually go to the Caribbean.

I never get bored of my wife. It's lovely.
