How was your life during the lockdown period?
Obviously everyone copes differently and the first lockdown gave us challenges we’d never faced before. After the lockdown was announced, it was a strange time. It was surreal and I felt trapped. I was scared of unknown. I’m kind of a social butterfly so what hit me hardest was not going out, not being able to eat out or to travel… that was the hardest bit. I had to spend my 27th birthday on Zoom. I’m very lucky to have a very supportive partner so that helped me a lot. I’ve adapted so lockdown number 2 was less painful.
What about your travels? Have they been affected?
I absolutely love traveling and this year I have only been away for 3 weeks in Barcelona and a week in Santorini. It was my first time on the island and I had a fabulous time, it was quieter than normal so that was a plus. I was supposed to go to Paris this week but my trip got cancelled.
Are you a Christmas fan?
I love Christmas. I’m not a Grinch.
What are your Christmas plans this year?
It is going to be a quiet, peaceful one at home with just a couple of really close friends, my partner and my dog. We will have a Christmas lunch, watch the Queen’s speech, drink champagne and open the presents under the tree.
Talking about presents, what’s on your wish list?
I think it would be easier to say what’s not on my wish list? That would save us some time (laughs)
Favourite Christmas outfit?
Will have to include a Ralph Lauren cashmere jumper.
