To the T. So I come home, I had my first baby, Gray.
I was about 31 years old and I'd bought my first property in East London, beautiful townhouse, very different from how I grew up.
And it had these giant sash windows.
It's December 20th because I gave birth on my mother's birthday.
Of course I would.
And I get back home holding little Gray and I shed my first tear.
And Yen says, isn't it amazing?
Like we have this beautiful little baby.
And I said, no, what is amazing is that I drew this exact vision with the Christmas tree and with the mantle and with the sash windows.
And I can't tell you, like, I'm not a good drawer.
I drew it exactly.
as it was, and I didn't even know about 1970s Danish sideboards.
That's not how I was raised, funnily enough.
That was a Jens purchase.
But I just couldn't believe it, because it was exactly as I'd envisaged what it would be to have this insane, beautiful family Christmas.
And there I was with the baby and the husband and the house and the tree and the window.
And I just thought, I can't actually explain this.
But it was like one of those moments.
And there's probably been a couple in my life where I was like, oh, life is actually magic.
