Loving Spring as I do, I’m relieved I don’t suffer from seasonal hayfever. I’d be disappointed to have to dread such a spectacular time of year.

Back in the 70s, no dinner party was complete without big hair, groovy wallpaper and after dinner mints — you remember, those wafer-thin ones in the individual black envelopes that looked ever so discreet but vanished from the tray in a very indiscreet fashion.
