1. My dad and my grandpa… I spent so much of my time with them when I was little and they both showed me what it was like to work hard for what you wanted
2. My mom… as I have gotten older, she has become one of my best friends!

🍁Weird, weird, and weird - I try to be myself and not worry about how I'm perceived

🍃Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful (and whom are we kidding: weird; it's not bad being weird 😜)

🍂 A mix of Max, Ms North and Ms Sykes from The Chronicles of St Mary's series, but also a bit Peter Grant from The Rivers of London series
