Characters: Harvey Nicks (only kidding: HN is not a person: https://www.harveynichols.com/ If you are ever a tourist in London, don’t bother with Harrods: it is full of tourists. Instead, close by, is Harvey Nicks, where the cool and trendy people go).

I was once having coffee with a friend in Harvey Nicks (back in the day when I was doing a proper job that actually paid me enough to be able to shop and consume outrageously expensive beverages and sushi) when Helena Bonham Carter walked past and turned to the friend she was with and said: “I really like that jumper she is wearing.” [Thanks go to Nan Hutton, ThD for this translation for those in the USA: jumper = sweater]

MY JUMPER. Helena Bonham Carter liked MY jumper. I would have Tweeted about it if Twitter had existed then, but I had to settle for rushing home to tell my children.

Number two egg, Sam, was quick with his response: “Mum, she has just been voted the Worst Dressed Celebrity of the Year.”

OFFER: if your ego ever gets the better of you, you can borrow my children. They will soon sort you out.

I came, I wrote, I conquered. That last bit might not be true, but at least I am putting up a good fight.
