Nicola Hayes' Home Truths
Everyone, this is Nicola. Why ask her for her Home Truths? Cos she’s Mum, is basically a Saint, and I never knew what one of her favourite songs was until now (see below).
1. The song to put a smile on your face…
Leaving On A Jet Plane - John Denver. I listened to it while I was learning French in Switzerland as an 18-year-old. Brings back many memories.
2. You can only watch one film for the next three months… What is it?
Dirty Dancing. It makes you want to move, sing and just dance. It’s a real get-up-and-go film.
3. The TV series you want everyone to watch:
The Forsyte Saga (the old version). I used to watch this on a Sunday night with my parents, when we would all sit down together with the fire going and eggs on toast.
4. The book you most recommend to people:
Seven Sisters by Lucinda Reilly. I like the interplay between the past and the present, learning about history without needing to pore through a turgid book.
5. The subject you’ve put off exploring that’s now top of your to-do list:
I haven’t had time to think about what I should be doing as I’m relishing the time I have to get to know my granddaughter.
6. The wild card you wish more people knew about…
Walking around your garden lots is actually a phenomenal cardiovascular workout!
7. We’re allowed dinner parties again… What are you cooking?
Lobster. I just adore it and it reminds me of Cornwall holidays with my family.
8. Everything’s back open. What’s the first coffee shop, restaurant or pub you’re visiting?
Jolly Cricketers for the perfect scotch egg.
P.S. What you know now, that you wish you knew then…
I wish I had kept in touch with old friends more, but it’s lovely to be speaking more to them now.
C’est fini... Now what?
