I Was 6 When My Father Decided We’d Sail Around The World. I Would Be Trapped On That Boat For Nearly A Decade.

The good news is that after that tough first year, I started to make friends, and with access at last to libraries and laboratories, I thrived academically. After finishing my degree, I went on to do a Ph.D. at Cambridge University and then joined the UK government, working in the Treasury. It was there that I met my wonderful husband, Jeremy. When I became a parent myself – Jeremy and I had three lovely children – I was determined to treat my children very differently. I make it clear to them that my love will always be unconditional, and that I will always be there for them if they need me.
