"I was born in Wordsley Hospital in June 1995, which is the nearest hospital to Ackleton. Mum says it was a very hot summer that year.

"We live in a barn conversion in Ackleton. It's a big house and there's plenty of room to play. I'm the oldest in the family. I've got a younger brother, Oliver, born in 1998.

"We get on pretty well except that he won't play quietly with his toys like I used to.

"He wants to play with mine all the time and sometimes we argue about my Star Wars sword. I love Star Wars. I'm going to see the movie soon.

"My dad, Christopher, is sales manager at Heart FM and my mum, Di, works for an estate agent, helping to sell houses and arranging for people to view houses.

"When I was two-and-a-half, I started at the nursery at Worfield endowed school.

"Now I'm in the nursery school and next Easter, in the year 2000, I'll be starting school full time.

"I'm really looking forward to that because must of my friends are already there.

"I've just started swimming lessons.

"We go every Sunday to the pool at the Royal School in Wolverhampton. I didn't like it at first but I do now.

"I don't really know what I want to be when I grow up. A few days ago we came across loads of sheep in the road. I thought then that I might like to be a sheep farmer.

"But I think I'd really like to be Obe Wun Kenobe, the Jedi knight out of Star Wars."
