Believe me, I've done my time travelling the world in cramped conditions and carrying my own luggage. Now my leisure is summers in the south of France or the Hamptons, walking in Connemara, and year-round shopping in Manhattan and Paris.

I eventually got a job with a television company, started to see how exciting journalism could be as a career, and decided that was what I wanted to do.

I was thrilled when a designer shop assistant said I was a size smaller than Madonna!

Every mother and daughter should make time for a trip together. It's good for the soul.

I am dating, but it is hard to find someone quick enough and funny enough. I am quite demanding.

I like to look put together without trying too hard. I don't want to look as if God's made another rainbow - I prefer muted, autumnal colours, like most fading redheads.

The Welsh... I mean, what are they for?
