The kitchen blackboard is a handy place to keep your reminders and lists.

I'm not much of a gardener really. I'm hopeless, so I don't really get involved with it that much.

My mum was a full-time mum and a great homemaker.

I don't want to get into any politics about it but I just think if we are a nation that is all about expensive houses and affordable houses and not caring about people who are genuinely in need, then everything starts to fall apart.

In the U.K. we are shed mad and the level of inventive design and eccentricity is an entirely new world. I love it because the humble shed is like an escape.

I always have a football handy at home, and I'll play with it. Sometimes it'll get on my wife's nerves. But the moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.

I think it's handy for a dramatist of any sort, if I can call myself that, to make use of weddings and wakes, to make use of those moments and those rituals that cause us to pause and look back or look forward and understand that life has changed.

I like to think I'm handy, but I failed at being handy many a time.

A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humus.

I am fairly rich. Money's very handy, let's face it.
