THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE ... MARCH 24TH 2013 ..

            

                    

As a teenager, I used to love lying in bed until noon. These days I’m awake between 7 and 8, and before I get up, I stretch like a cat. I make sure everything is moving.
I then put on my Terrycloth dressing gown and make a very strong instant coffee. My diet isn’t faddish, but I look after myself. I eat boring stuff. If you look in my cupboards, you’ll find things like tins of tuna and loaves of white bread. I love a piece of white toast in the morning with Smucker’s raspberry jam.
My husband, Percy, is usually up by the time I finish breakfast, so we go through emails and make calls while listening to the Today programme. Although we’re in New York right now — we’ve also got homes in London, LA and the south of France — I still like to know what’s happening in England.
