I used to do my own make-up. I used to have this doll that had those big eyelashes on the top and bottom, and I think I copied her when I was doing my eyes, putting false eyelashes on the bottom as well as the top. So I came up with that look myself.

I eat healthily because that's the way I prefer to eat, and I'm sure it helps keep the weight off.

Knitwear can play a vital part in layering. The simplicity of a lightweight cardigan makes it one of the best ways to layer outfits. I love granddad cardis for winter, worn over a vintage lace shirt, waistcoat and full skirt with slouchy boots.

For special occasions, I love pretty dresses - but nothing too frou-frou!

I used to be a thing; I'm a person now.

Always be natural. Putting on airs will make a giggle out of you. Be yourself and if you don't know something say so.

Sometimes I can't believe I'm going to be 60. I always say there's no point moaning about getting older, when there's nothing you can do about it. But still, I do find it quite funny. I look at that number, 60, and I think, really? Me?
