Up early? I typically get up at 5.30 for recording. On Sundays it’s a reward to remain in bed. We have actually got 3 canines now, and my child, Rose, who’s 12, so it’s not as if we can have a mega lie-in. We’re up at 7.30 am.
Very first thing? I fantasise about coffee prior to I go to sleep. On weekdays, I tiptoe downstairs and make strong coffee in our Bialetti stove-top pot prior to work.
Sundays maturing? It was constantly Father [actor Edward Fox] consuming Mum’s [actor Joanna David] homemade marmalade on huge, buttered pieces of toast. Father would take us to Regent’s Park to feed the ducks, while Mum got a roast on the table. They ‘d welcome good friends over who enjoyed to play video games and cards with me. Sunday nights I ‘d play the piano with Father. I can still visualize my little hands on top of his as he played.
Sunday early mornings now? A walk in our regional park, or Jonathan [Stadlen, Fox’s husband] takes the canines out while I do an exercise in the house.
Sunday afternoons? Jonathan has a boat, so we may go rowing on the Thames with Rose and all the canines. If my moms and dads remain in town it’s a good time to see them. Sunday afternoons are frequently about Rose’s research, however I do seem like a nag.
What’s for supper? We do a roast chicken and an apple fall apart. We listen to podcasts or Desert Island Discs while we prepare together. It’s a relief to be in the house after a hectic week.
Sunday fear? I utilized to dislike returning to boarding school on a Sunday night, till I altered schools. Now I enjoy Mondays: the school run if I’m at house or going to work. I have actually handled to get rid of Sunday night blues.
Lights out? We’ll take the canines out. I’ll discover lines. I utilized to listen to the news when I was on my own, however it simply kept me awake. Jonathan likes listening to The World Tonight on Radio 4. It sends me to sleep– really frequently I do not surpass the headings.
