Who or what inspires you?
I have been inspired throughout my career by early education pioneers such as Froebel, Montessori, Bruner and Reggio Emilio. The emphasis they place on a young child s need to make sense of the world and develop through play, and the importance of the outdoors and the holistic approach to education that they championed, really resonates with me.
In life I have also always been inspired by people who live their lives adventurously. I was fortunate to be able to join adventurer Anna McNuff for a very small section of her barefoot run across Britain. She is joy personified.

Christopher Lee, who has died aged 79, was a journalist, historian, playwright and novelist, and the official biographer of Lord Carrington; he was best-known as the author of Radio 4’s This Sceptred Isle (1995-6), a compelling history of Britain that became one of the most popular series ever broadcast.
“It is history written in the old style, with a broad narrative sweep complemented by a staggering depth of knowledge,” declared the historian Andrew Roberts. When the series was released on CD and cassette it sold in the hundreds of thousands, becoming the BBC’s best-selling audio book.
