I was a child in the postwar era of rationing and austerity. Luckily for us my mother was a brilliant cook and also very good at dressmaking, so I was unaware of any deprivation. I ate well and looked well-dressed. It did have a effect on me, though. I sometimes look at the absurd amount of choice in today’s supermarkets and think how thoroughly spoiled people are now.
I was in my twenties in the sixties, and lived in London by then. Fabulous times.
