Of course risk-taking does not always pay off, but it's a lot of fun!
I was sent to a finishing school, which didn't last long when mother found out how badly chaperoned we were. Then I 'came out' before going to a domestic science school.
I have deliberately left Sylvester and Julia's appearances to the reader's imagination.
I have a garden, and I'm passionately interested in young people.
I don't write for any particular kind of person.
A lot of people stop short. They don't actually die but they say, 'Right I'm old, and I'm going to retire,' and then they dwindle into nothing. They go off to Florida and become jolly boring.
