“…where we lived in England, for a short while, we lived on a farm and the woman who ran the farm kind of got me aware of nature and animals and farm life. I cannot look at a snowdrop without remembering her because she just pulled me out from a chair, where I was reading … she said ‘You’ve got to see this!’ And I went outside and this sometimes dour Scots lady said ‘Look isn’t it wonderful!’ And there had been some snow and, where the snow melted, these little snowdrops were coming out. Her excitement and the whole feeling of spring was something I kind of caught there.”
