I actually feel very close to the tower. Sometime’s I’ve got to pinch myself even

now after 10 years. I mean today, as you can see outside, it’s snowing today. I like to go up the tower at least once a day and just have a look out, have a look out to sea, have a look at the different weather patterns and look at the waves and see what they’re doing. And it’s fascinating, it’s great. That’s when you can see if there’s no fog, like.
