eccentric country girl who taught me exhibitionism by hanging naked from the clocktower of Hythe town hall; Catherine my best friend then partner in business - a devil in red heels who in her clear Essex accent taught me how to look after number one; and Timothy who broke my heart and caused me to seek refuge in sex money and celebrity. But in the end you have to take responsibility for your own actions. No one was forcing me were they?
