"I have lots of images of my father. One of them is cooking a tin of ravioli in the boat hut when we'd been fishing. I don't know why. And also, he did a fantastic soft shoe shuffle, which he would do in front of the fridge when the day's work was finished. He was very dapper, very smart, always very well turned out. And seriously funny."
