Creativity, I’ve always been that type of person with my photography and on the arts side of things. It’s like this table; sand it down and tile it and make something beautiful.

I am a qualified salsa instructor; 18 years I’ve been doing that. I’d go to Blackpool, all over the country. When I was younger I did ballet as well.

Because of the dancing and photography, I’ve always been confident, so when it comes to living, I feel that I just want to keep going because of the way I am as a person. It’s like teaching someone to dance; you’ve got 12 weeks to learn, I’m not going to stop in 6 weeks, I’m going to keep going until you can dance and then you’re going to say thank you for what you’ve done for me. Makes me feel good.

I’ve got carpentry and bricklaying too. My dad’s motto was ‘skills pay the bills’, so I say learn as much as you can through life.

My dancing keeps me young; my whole personality keeps me young. I like to always look nice. I’ve gone to weddings and the groom’s gone ‘huh, typical! I knew you would turn up in a better suit than me’ and I say can’t help myself, sorry mate! I have a sense of humour; I tend to wake up and just like making people laugh.
