An amazing coincidence. Carrie had got a woman in to make some calico covers for our conservatory chair and sofa, to stop the sun fading the upholstery. I recognised her immediately: years ago she worked for an old aunt of mine in Clapham. It’s a small world.

my diary?

I often see memoirs by people I’ve never even heard of and I don’t see why my diary should be any less interesting, just because I’m not a ‘celebrity’. I only wish I’d started it when I was younger.
