Her Ladyship, together with my sons, is a squirrel. I am a minimalist, a lover of the understated, a liker of pastilles and stainless steel. She is a lover of coal fires, clutter and cosiness. We have, in varying styles and sizes, 12 empty picnic hampers lying around the house. Each one is a gift from her millionaire brother, we get a hamper every year at Xmas time. They are of sentimental value, so they have got to stay!
I love her to bits, of course. I just wish that I could find some room to put nothing in, I’d just like to enjoy the space.
Ah well, she enjoys football and pubs, so I guess I will have to settle for living like Steptoe & Son.
