This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a five-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view.

You can come and say hello to them if you want to, they're quite friendly. So I rocked up to work one morning on my bike and saw this small, grey-ish sad looking dog that I thought was probably abandoned and I then took her home that night because I thought oh well I don't know what else to do and my husband had a fit and then the following day we took her to Battersea cos he was like we're not keeping this dog we have two dogs, two pigs, two cats, three kids we're not having another dog. I then said to my husband if I paid for her, could I buy her as my wedding anniversary present? And you could see my husband thinking "Oh shit, we've had a wedding anniversary I totally forgot about and she's offering to buy her own present" So I bring the dogs into work probably most days partly because when you have people who perhaps get a bit upset about their wedding dress fitting or they're in a state with their mother they basically need a reason to calm down. They can stroke a dog, calm down, it just lowers the temperature a bit. It's a bit of an unorthodox thing to own in West London, I do recognise that, they're fantastic animals and I got them because... Well I worked on a pig farm for about 17 months at one point. See I've had them since they were tiny, so as you can see they know that I'm the boss. And it's very useful to be able, when you've got a pig, it's very useful to be able to put your fingers in it's mouth without it severing your hand. Ooh cracky, cracky don't be such a pig. When you take on livestock your home becomes a farm so technically although we live in W12 our home is a farm and then I have a walking licence so I can walk them in two of our local parks too. So upset. Shall we go, come on then. This way, don't bite each other. Come on lads shall we go this way - good boy. Good boy. Come here, no don't bite me, here have a carrot and stop being stroppy. Sit, good pig. Good pig. No we'll have less shouting. Good boy, in. Snouty, in love.Good pig come on, yes alright Cracky, keep your hair on. Hello hello hello. A dog looks up to you and a cat looks down on you and a pig looks you straight in the eye. And who's that? Winston Churchill.
