My home: Tobias Persson

What’s your earliest memory of a house?
Probably my mothers womb. A spacious warm bungalow near water.

Where would be your dream place to live?
See above. Or in a small house in Spain. Nice wine, the sun, a local donkey and me getting up at 2 pm trying to write jokes.


Do you have a favourite building in Scotland?
The monument on Princes Street - predictable perhaps but it is a spooky, haunting building. That or any pub on Rose st.


A favourite place you visited on holiday, such as a hotel or villa?
We rented a very nice house in London a few years back, complete with mice and everything. Still dream about it.


How would you describe your home?
A nice flat in Stockholm with triple glazed windows (I know- science fiction!) lots of books, toys and way to little haggis.


What’s your favourite home smell?
When it´s clean. Ah, that takes me back a bit…


What do you miss about home if you are away for a while?
My piano, ukelele and my kids. Oh, and my wife of course. Phew.


Do you have a favourite room in the house?
I like sitting in the living room and play the piano which - ironically- is not my family´s favorite thing.


How are your DIY skills?
Limitied.


When was the last time you worked on your garden?
I don´t have a garden so can't relate at all to this abstract question. But I like the idea of gardening and making things grow slowly. A bit like meditation, which I´ve never tried either.


Dinner at the table or in front of the TV?
Table, every time. I don´t watch telly (unless I´m on it myself, then it becomes VERY IMPORTANT)


What’s your favourite thing to cook for the home?
A dish from Iceland, given to me by my mother in law. (It involves fish and vulcano ashes)
