Welcome to Mummy’s world… Where I had envisaged childish faces glowing with wonder as they took in the treasures of our nation’s illustrious past, we instead had me shouting ‘Don’t touch, DON’T TOUCH, FFS DON’T TOUCH!” while stoutly shod pensioners tutted disapprovingly and drafted angry letters to the Daily Mail in their heads. As soon as we got there I remembered why I don’t use the flipping National Trust membership – because National Trust properties are full of very precious and breakable items, and very precious and breakable items don’t really mix with children, especially not small boys.

Now here’s where shit gets corny-apologies to my daughter, Rita, who of my four children, will likely find and read this first. ![]() I was a guest of a guest of a guest, as eighteen-year-olds trying to make their way in New York often are. On New Year’s Day in 1984, I jumped into the icy waters of the Atlantic with the Coney Island Polar Bear Club. When I was eighteen, I spent a year in New York City.

But looking back-hindsight is more like 40/40 when you’re about to croak-I know I only fixed minuscule problems and ignored the mammoth ones. I love that I didn’t have to say it every day for them to know it. But I’m succumbing now, in this book, because I’ve had too much bourbon. If I did succumb to those clichés and killed everyone’s vibe, I’m sorry. Hope there were no last minute confessions or wistful wishes that I’d seen more sunrises.

When the real owner finds me and offers me a different job-being his fake boyfriend on a cruise through the British Virgin Islands to tempt Prescott to reveal his cheating ways-that’s when I make my second mistake: I agree. How was I supposed to know he was the owner’s cheating, gold-digging almost brother-in-law, or that I’d end up stuffed in a closet when the ship left the harbor?
