What is the best thing about your life at the moment?

The best thing for me is that my children are grown up and for the first time since I was 15, I feel free. It’s the freedom of being able to sleep in. I had my firrst child at 18, so there weren’t many years of being able to be my own boss. And when I was running a huge business, I was very disciplined and in the gym really early, making school lunches, getting the kids to school and that’s a real grind. It’s actually lovely having nobody at home, and the freedom of not having a disciplined job and huge staff. This is the best time of m my life.
