All The Way Round And Back Again

1979“When I was little my mum used to say a particular phrase to me when I was going to sleep, which was ‘All the way round and back again, more than words can say I love you’. We used to say it back and forth, and it ended up being a mantra that went through my life.

"We ended up shortening it when I taught her how to use texts to ATWRABA. Instead of saying ‘I love you’ at the end I put that.

”She passed away a few years ago and that was really hard. Then I got the phrase tattooed on my wrists in her handwriting. People always ask about the tattoo and it’s a lovely way of remembering her.”
