And I was kind of in the midst of the election campaign.

And I think I maybe got three days back at home before I really had to sort of carry on.

And I didn't really get a...

proper chance to sort of absorb it you know I felt a little bit like I'd done her a disservice by not really grieving properly probably but you must have made her so proud you know that moment she was so frightened for your future and look at you now well I think she would have thought we'd done alright

Yeah, I don't mind my own company, at least for a bit.

I don't know if I could build a shelter.

I did do some woodwork at school.

In fact, the only time I met the current king was when he came to our school just before he got married and we were doing a woodwork class and

We were making stools and the only thing he said to me was, is it oak?

And I said, we can't afford oak, it's ash, obviously.

So I might be able to build a bit of a shelter.

So Lucy, as my daughter, has forced me to listen to new music.

We have a shared Spotify playlist, which she has entitled Club Bangers, which I quite like.

And she keeps putting stuff on there.

I don't really share her love of K-pop, to be fair.

Well, indeed.

But she keeps putting stuff on there.

And the one I've chosen is Charli XCX and her song Von Dutch.

My club-going days are long behind me, but I could maybe do a bit of dad dancing to this one, because it is an absolute storming record.

When that sort of bass line comes in, you can feel it go right through your skeleton.
