“Actor of sorts, vintner (author’s note: a vintner is someone who makes wine — don’t worry I had to Google it too), and an author as it happens.

“My news seems to be all over the news at the moment, and it’s sort of “Cancer ! Cancer! Cancer!”

“I’m alive and kicking and I’m going to work. I’m very happy to be going back to work.”
