Secret 7…In my head, I am married to Michael Palin
Posted under 30 Secrets in 30 Days
Awww, look at us, the happy couple…enjoying a joke. Michael is amusing me with his legendary sense of funny, and he’s looking pretty tickled too. Or is he laughing at my dodgy growing out hair? No matter, I’m sure whatever it is he is laughing WITH me at not at me.
Me and my 'other' husband
We’ve been together for 24 years now, since I developed a lasting and stonking crush on him as a teenager. Naturally, like any couple, we’ve had our ups and downs but in the end we love each other very deeply and will be together forever.
There is the ‘slight’ knotty issue of his wife and family, and MrSpud and my boys, but the course of true love never runs smooth does it?
I’ve never actually met Michael Palin, I will admit it. I have come very close on two occasions, both book signings. The first time, early 1990s, he was doing a signing in Selfridges and I got as far as the lift before my heart started pounding so fast I thought I was going to faint so I had to go home. Waaaaaah!
The second time I took reinforcements in the shape of various colleagues from work. Got to Waterstones, same thing happened, I was completely frozen to the spot. Someone shoved me forward and, squeek, HE LOOKED AT ME. That was it, I turned on my heel and ran back to the office, completely overwhelmed.
Recently I read an interview with ‘my husband’ and the interviewer commented on the longevity of his marriage, and how rare that is in celebrity world. Michael said that someone had caught his eye once or twice, but in the end family is more important.
HE MEANT ME!!!! HE LOVES ME TOO!!!

Well, once Ronald Regan looked me in the eye. Oh, yes, he did.
No crush though. Really. I was just getting into the spirit of the thing.
