You are bound to think that, you know, as a father,

as I'm in London now, I would ideally have been

on the train back up north tonight and I would have done that anyway

but I really want to be up north now because there's nowhere

I want to be at the moment more than beside my kids and my wife.

At a moment like this, you really value what is important.
