ONE Activity: Cooking

Often combined with another favourite of mine, pizza, I love to get creative in the kitchen. Never followed a recipe in my life, which begs the question why I have hundreds of recipe books. Knowledge of materials, processes, detailing and construction – pretty much my day job, but you can eat it!

ONE Saying: “Don’t get angry with a dog for barking”

This saying just sums up how you can accept the things you cannot change in others and concentrate on what you can affect within yourself. Dogs bark – get over it! However “don’t get angry with a cat for ruining your sofa” is an entirely different kettle of fish…

ONE Historical Figure: Siddartha Guttamma

The man who would go on to become Buddha. Two and half thousand years ago he sat under a tree and figured it all out and was good enough to pass it on to everyone willing to listen. What he said impacts on every level of what we do from the superficial to the profound.

We certainly feel that we know Gavin a little better now. Tell us what your ONE place, actor or car is, we would love to know!
