Has to be my acoustic guitar, it’s variously kept me sane and paid my bills – and it’s made in Ireland… who’d have thought?

Tough one, I variously wish I was back in the USA, or living on the Ecrehous. I’ll say the Ecrehous!

My German Shepherd, Thor!

The parties we used to have at my old apartment in Hollywood. We’d bbq on the balcony then drink beers by the pool until the sun disappeared… and we were usually still there when it came back again
