A huge thank you to my lovely editor Caroline Ridding who has been so generous and patient throughout some difficult days this year. I’m looking forward to working with you in happier times to come!
Thank you to everyone at Aria and Head of Zeus for all their hard work on this book, especially Jane Craddock for her help with the edits and Yasemin Turan for all her efforts with the marketing.
Thank you to my agent Judith Murdoch whose steadfast support has brought me this far.
Thank you to all my friends, especially so many members of the RNA.
Special thanks to my best friend Jo Botelle for helping me through so many bad hair days recently.
Grateful thanks also to my lovely DWLC ladies: Kerry, Claire, Adrienne and Kendra whose advice and structure planning, with table condiments, were invaluable!
Huge thanks to my wonderful family for all their support, especially my sister Gill, Simon, Louise, Lee, Cara and Sian.
Finally, thanks to my fantastic husband Dave for never giving up on me. I honestly could never have written this book without your love and encouragement.
