Food Savoury and sweet:
I could eat egg fried rice until the cows come home.
And sweet: a tarty lemon (uncooked) cheesecake on a digestive base hits the spot. Has to be served with clotted cream!
Drink:
I’m a red wine girl. I’ll drink any colour - white, pink, purple, green… but if I had to pick one it would be a rich, beautiful South African Pinotage.
Film:
The Corpse Bride - I absolutely loved it.
Book:
Jane Eyre - I wish I had a pound for every time I’ve read it.
Author:
Jane Austen. Author of my second favourite book Persuasion, but I’ve read everything she has written and I’ve loved them all.
Character:
Captain Wentworth in Persuasion - when Ciaran Hinds played him in the TV adaptation… I was goo. The man, the uniform… sigh!!!
Song:
Message in a Bottle by the Police. It reminds me of being a teenager.
Holiday destination:
Venice - there is nowhere on earth quite like it. If you haven’t been - you must!
Animal:
I cannot pick between a cat and a dog. I love them equally.
Place to write:
My office. It’s my space and it’s light and comfortable with all my favourite things around me. And loads and loads of stationery.
Season;
Late Spring - May time. When the bluebells come out (favourite flower!)
Tradition:
I do love Christmas very much, though I hate New Year with a passion. I have no idea why - maybe it’s the weight of all expectation to make yourself into a better person overnight with all those stupid resolutions!
Inspirational quote:
‘Great things never came from comfort zones.’
Thing in the whole world:
My vintage Lulu Guinness handbag. I adore it.
The Queen of Wishful Thinking is available to buy now
It’s the story of an antiques shop which changes the fortunes of two people who really should be together but aren’t. It’s a story of friendship and loyalty and how people are much stronger than they think they are. And how, when life offers you chances, to grab them with both hands!
