I am all too aware that sometimes Maya's voice gets lost in all this blogging business, so I think it's high time Maya speaks for herself. Often, she sits in front of the laptop tapping away at the keys and when I ask her what she's doing she casts me one of her well-whaddya-think-I'm-doing looks and says 'I'm writing my blog, Mummy.' So yes, if the little lady could actually write, I'm sure she'd have a very different take on many of the things that feature in her blog. But, since she can't yet write, here's an exclusive, unabridged interview with the girl of the moment!
Please can you tell me your full name?
My name's called Maya Elizabef Narra-COTT
How old are you, Maya?

Do you like India?
Mmm
Why do you like India?

Yes.
Who do you want to see in England?
Mummy, let's go on a farm and see that boy.
