When I was 13 or 14, my parents had a bit of a windfall so bought a lovely new kitchen, but I burnt it down. I was making cheese on toast when flames escaped from the grill. My father stopped the fire with blind panic and excessive water. I was forgiven, but it put me off cooking for years.

When I was 13 I was diagnosed with malignant brain cancer. I spent 13 weeks in the hospital getting treatment, and my parents had to mortgage the house to pay for it. I spent Christmas in the hospital. When I got out my father had bought me my first Lionel train set, a model Union Pacific line.

The first coat I ever bought is in a plastic bag in about five pieces. It's by Sonia Rykiel. I can't wear it anymore, but I still like it.
