      Being an adult is… Never being an adult. Life is serious enough without being serious. I’ll be 50 next year and if I ever become an adult, smack me over the head. If someone could reveal what your 2024 will involve, would you want to know what would

      JUST the other day colleagues were scrounging around the office, looking for coins to buy an afternoon pick-me-up snack at the vendor downstairs. Ah, the time of year when, after all the celebrations of the festive season, it feels like there’s a lot

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Joan Bakewell: ‘I Did Enjoy The 1960s Very Much’

      Mar 4, 2023

      I’m going to be 90 this year and, looking back, I was always happiest when I’d fallen in love. Falling in love is a very expressive thing. And I’ve done it once or twice. Of course, the high point of all this carry-on was in the 1950s and 60s, when I
