What if I hadn't taken a photograph of a bowl to the buyer at Heals in London? What if she'd hated it? Or hadn't seen it... What if I hadn't agreed to dress up as Adele to make a crazy YouTube video?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery chapter of my book is based around an object (usually a pot) that's been significant in my life.

A life-changing job interview with a man who lay under his car throughout. That video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSifting through half-forgotten memories, trying to pick out the golden nuggets from the stuff that is definitely dross has been a curious, and at times hilarious, sometimes sad, but definitely enlightening process.
