Flying over the Australian outback in a jet, looking down at the incredible orange scenery, the uninhabited hills and gullies, listening to Tchaikovsky on my headphones and drinking champagne with a cigarette in my hand. It was 1984, I'd been to the Adelaide Book Festival and was going back to my husband and my children.
My children’s births, and when I won the Bake Off.
Standing on stage in between Robert Young and Andrew Innes, blasting away.
When I'm on set, filming.
I don't want to think that far ahead, but a song I like is Herb Alpert's This Guy's In Love With You. Let's pretend it's going to be played at my wedding instead.
My dad, because he is full of integrity and good humour; and my grandad, because he's full of the same.
More clarity, or if I went to the gym more.
