If you could travel through time, which era, place or event would you like to tour ?
There are two things that fascinate me. One is Eric the Red's discovery of Iceland. The other is accompanying Marco Polo to China, meeting Kublai Khan and experiencing the opulence of another world.
What are you rather partial to / What is your "pet addiction" ?
I was going to say listening to people and sharing experiences. But I have another pet addiction and that's drinking tea. And often the two complement each other.
Which day or moment of your life would you love to relive ?
Well, I can relive many in my memory. What we experience at the time is often accompanied by confusion. It's good to know you can revisit with the balance of experience.
Which event has had the most impact on your era (generation) ?
In a general sense: the realisation that we are polluting and damaging the planet as a whole. But, on a global people sense, the modern feminist movement, kicked-off by Germaine Greer's book The Female Eunuch.
I would have liked to have been me - with abundant self confidence right from the start. You would be looking at a much more impressive individual today.
