2010“When I passed my driving test my mum’s mum actually picked me up from the driving centre. I’ve always been really close to my gran. I was a lot more like her than I was ever like either of my parents. She died recently. I miss her a lot. She said to me this piece of advice.

”She reminded me of it years later and reminded me that it’s a much wider phrase than perhaps I originally thought. Years later, when I’d had a breakup of a relationship, I was on the phone to her, consoling myself with her wisdom and perpetual belief that tea will fix everything.

"She asked if I remembered this quote and explained how it’s a much broader thing and you can go about your life letting other people dictate the way you go, letting the person behind you drive your car, drive your life. And it struck me that’s a really lovely way of looking at it.”
