I do like my life very much, yes.

I feel like a semi-single mum.

When bad things happen, it's the time when you get to work in the garden and sort out the pots from the weeds.

I don't know much about only children. I was the middle one of three, and if ever I was alone with mum and dad, it was a rare moment.

I always wear make-up as I've never seen the point of looking less than your best.

Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness in others. Mind you, it's only mental sloth I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly.

I love moving. I love new houses. I'm always looking for somewhere else.
