I took my daughter to Greece – and saw the world through a 17-year-old’s eyes

I took my daughter to Greece – and saw the world through a 17-year-old’s eyes

On our off-season break in Kos, we talk about friends, boys, college, and I realise one-on-one time is beneficial to our relationship and her wellbeing‘Slipping through my fingers all the time / I try to capture every minute …,” mourns Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia! as we drive along a dusty road lined with goats and olive trees to Kefalos beach.

I took my dad to Scarborough – and saw a side of him that I didn’t expect

Over crumble and custard on our short break in Yorkshire, Dad wondered if it was worth him getting into InstagramI’ve got a bit of a thing for my elders. As a kid I wouldn’t leave my great-aunt alone. In my early 30s, I went on six coach holidays with a load of strangers twice my age for my book, The Gran Tour. So it won’t come as a surprise to learn that I recently dragged my old man to Scarborough for a mini-break. When I say dragged, I’m only half-joking. He didn’t fancy the coach ride, for a start. For the first hour of the journey north from Portsmouth, Dad behaved like a hostage...
