“I like to keep fit, and when not gardening or singing solo or in a cho...” — Jane Hawking Quote

“I like to keep fit, and when not gardening or singing solo or in a choir, I cycle, play tennis, swim, dance, and practise yoga.”

“I was always extremely determined, but I was also quite timid.”

“I suppose I was still optimistic and unrealistic, and I just hoped we could keep going as we were. But no. That was not good enough for Stephen, so off he went. Those were hard times. They really were. But then, I suppose, divorce is always hard.”

“Garden as though you will live forever.”

“When I go into the garden, I forget everything. It's uncomplicated in my world of gardening. It's trial and error, really. If something doesn't work, it comes out, and you start all over again.”

“I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today.”
