It's the end of January at last. Of those who made New Years resolutions to get fit, only the stragglers remain on the treadmill. Most of us are watching the direct debit leave our accounts slumped on the sofa in a veil of Pringle dust. You can spot a first-time gym user. They'll struggle with the ubiquitous 'push knob and release' door mechanism, before heading to the bikes or treadmills; easiest to operate without prior knowledge. A gender divide emerges here.

Since we flew the nest, my older brother Alex and I have been eyeing a full set of cast iron Le Creuset pans in my parents’ kitchen. Recently, our mum said if we wanted them, we could take them; we have been fighting like toddlers ever since. So now she’s threatening to have the full set – including a coffee pot she’s hidden away – written into her will. She won’t say whether she’s joking or not. Why the fierce rivalry?

The inventory of my kitchen bin is as follows: a bottle of Garnier Ultimate Blends Honey Treasures conditioner, the dregs of some oat milk and a packet of Extra sugar-free chewing gum. All are at least half-full. I'm debating whether or not four slices of brown bread will join them. This is slightly irritating; it's not even stale. And it's from Waitrose!But I have no choice. They've scored too low to pass muster in my household. So, I'm chucking the offenders out. Why am I binning perfectly good food?

When you think of summer, what springs to mind? Is it sun-soaked holidays in a Tuscan villa? How about floating around the French Riviera with a glass of wine and a baguette? For many of us, though, the glow of that fantasy will be somewhat dimmed by the struggle of finding the perfect summer wardrobe that doesn’t see us fall victim to sweat, sunburn and chafing – not to mention feeling overexposed and under-supported in the breast department.

Queen Camilla, Daphne du Maurier, Zara Phillips, Princess Diana… and Millie Mackintosh from TV's Made In Chelsea. No, not the guest list for the strangest women-only dinner party, but a tiny selection of esteemed former Girls In Pearls, as featured in Country Life magazine. And now I'm set to join their ranks for the greatest honour in posho publishing, with my very own 'frontispiece' in this bible of the muddy-wellies set.

It all seemed so perfect at the start. He was tall and charming — an Irish student abroad. I was 20, and he ‘liked’ me on a dating app, and sent me a couple of flirty messages. But then he arrived, straggly-haired in a moth-eaten fleece. Drinks — which he refused to pay for — proved an insufficient social lubricant as he offered monosyllabic answers to my increasingly desperate questioning. ‘My mother is Irish,’ I ventured, in an attempt to find common ground.
