Describe your perfect Sunday morning...
As boring as this sounds on Sunday mornings I actually do all my chores so I can then relax and enjoy the rest of the day! Once I’ve done that I like to get out of the house and get some fresh air. My favourite thing to do is go and see some wildlife. I also love to sit and look at the sea.
What was the first album you bought?
The first was Take That.
What would be your luxury item on a desert island?
I get very lonely on my own so I would have to say my phone or iPod
What are you favourite places in Yorkshire?
There are a lot of wildlife parks in Yorkshire which I love to visit. I also love going to York, it’s a very beautiful city.
