I was never the girl who walked down the centre of the hallway snapping people out of her way.

I don't know how you get dressed if you live in Wales, because it's pouring rain and then it's hot sunshine, and then it might hail. It's just so confusing.

In Texas it's always hot, dry, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.
