Favorite place in the world
There's a place in the Yorkshire Dales, which is a national park in the UK. I grew up very close to there and it's where my parents moved when they retired over twenty-five years ago.
Favorite place to read
In the bath! I bought my house because it had a lovely old cast iron clawfoot tub.
