What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?

That would definitely have to be riding in a cable car, over some mountains, in Japan a few years ago while visiting Mount Fuji. Riding in a cable car is something that I had previously sworn that I would never, ever do, until it presented itself as a surprise on the Mount Fuji tour on a visit to Tokyo. The cable car was rather noisy and crowded and the 3 minutes each-way felt like an eternity. I was not confident that we were going to make it across the peaks and back!

Who or what makes you laugh?

Easily; my husband and daughter (almost every day), some occasions more ‘corny’ than others. They both have unique ways of bringing humour and laughter to any situation along with joy.
