My English Home & Garden

Tell us about the home you share with your partner James Mackie?

It’s a Cotswolds cottage that dates back to the 18th century. It’s small, which is part of its charm, but has a book room that’s been added on by James to increase the space and add light with its big windows. He’s done it so beautifully everyone thinks it’s part of the original cottage.

Do you have a favourite spot?

I love it in
