Consciousness: Who’s at the Wheel?
We often confuse freedom with arbitrariness, as though freedom were tantamount to doing something in a random way. But we are only really free, or rather we savor our freedom, when what we do is the necessary expression of what we are.

Dido: ‘ I’m actually loving getting older’
I can’t remember a time before I played music. My first instrument was a recorder I found in lost property at school. If I’d told my parents I needed one, they’d have asked “What for?” So I took it home and played it for hours. I had to keep it a secret, though. There wasn’t a TV at home growing up, so I’d cycle to my mate’s house on a Wednesday night to watch Dallas. It’s just one way in which my childhood was unconventional. There was a lot of boredom which mutated into creativity, but it meant I often felt out of the loop at school. I left home at 15 and binge-watched TV for a year nonstop.

Canalboat owners on life afloat: 'It forces you to be green'
This is a 70ft tug-style boat and I’ve lived on it for the past six years. The furniture is antique, campaign style mainly. Everything is solid oak and I hand-finished the floor. I like my desk area; I can sit there with the side door open and read and write songs.
