2. The Case of Ben Hammond I grew up in a place called Milton Keynes, about an hour outside of London (though it felt like miles and miles away). I really enjoyed my childhood… I loved playing football and cycling about wherever I went. Life in the U.K. I got to travel around the country because I had a big extended family, and my dad’s job meant sometimes we got to go overseas on holidays, like to France and the USA (my best holiday ever). So I was kind of a migrant from a young age….

3. The Case of Ben Hammond I moved from Milton Keynes to a small town near Bath in the west of England when I was 13. I was heartbroken to leave, but soon began a new school and made new friends… Life in the U.K. At my new school, St Laurence, there were lots of opportunities to travel… I could have even gone to India! I ended up doing the French exchange, and when I was in the sixth form in the mid 1990s I went with a team of students to Romania to work in a street children’s home
