My family have been around Northumberland for five generations.

With your own children, you love them immediately - and with grandchildren, it's exactly the same.

I'm not interested in more money for the sake of it.

My mum Mary was always a bright, confident and fiercely independent lady.

With something like cancer, there is a feeling that you can fight it in some way or control your response to it, but with dementia there is the fear of losing control of your mind and your life.

I never have liked detective dramas. I try to watch all of them to see what's going on, but I don't like them.

Being a grandparent is whole new phase in your life.
