Listening to my regular favourites - Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and so on - I always feel, quite misguidedly, that nothing can be too bad if such beauty and brilliance exists in the world.

I swim more or less every day.

I adore food and always have.

I do find modern jazz quite tricky.

I am proud of my cake-making image but life is not that perfect. There are socks in my fruit bowl.

I do enjoy fashion - a lot of runway clothes are pretty unwearable, but if moderated, the trends can be worn by just about anyone.

We get a lot of overseas people wanting to order cakes.
