View profile →Last night, having dinner with my husband, John, my son, Jonathan, and his girlfriend, Maude.
When I was very little, I thought it might be possible to be an angel.
Things that I didn’t do during the day.
A £400 Zandra Rhodes dress for the royal premiere of The Railway Children. More recently, a Wurlitzer jukebox for my husband’s birthday.
When I was 14 I went up for Juliet with Zeffirelli and I was hugely disappointed that I didn’t get that.
As a good friend.
