  Growing up
  I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him).

  I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married.
