I love Lancashire, it has some of the most beautiful country in England, and I love getting out in it when I can. Love the sea, but sailing used to be my thing. Over on your ear, scudding along, setting the Decca for the next turn, tacking under sail when the engine won't work (long story). Yes it can be freezing cold (at least three layers under the oilskins) but once you moor up and turn on the heater and pour the scotch, you appreciate it all the more for the freezing bits.

London can be great, though - especially fine Sunday mornings, when there are few people around. I'm always willing to show people round!
