I don’t expect you need me to remind you that Christmas is nearly upon us, but in case my daily #festiveoutburst hasn’t jogged your memory, let me spell it out — there are only 18 days to go until Christmas Day!…

Will was supporting me on Saturday night for our final performance of Backstage in Biscuit Land at the Battersea Arts Centre (BAC). Afterwards he stayed at the castle to provide my overnight care and yesterday morning he told me about a dream he’d had.…
