I don’t think I’ve ever been close to death but I am a nervous flyer, especially during turbulence, so there have been many times where I’ve felt that I was.
Always flying: we’ve had flights where the engine’s been on fire; where we’ve nose-dived.
Maybe in the 1990s, but I was so selfish at the time, I wouldn’t really have noticed what was going on.
Childbirth. And the wheel of our camper van coming clean off on the M1.
Having a career that’s 29 years in.
I am a shoe and bag freak. I shelled out for a Chanel handbag on eBay and it was still four figures!

It’s another bloody Prince song, I’m so sorry – Mountains. I love how the chord structure ascends and the vocals – “It’s only mountains and the sea / There’s nothing greater than you and me” – feel like an ascension. I’d like to think, when I shuffle off this mortal coil, I’m going to be ascending as opposed to descending. I think I’ve been a good girl.
