Avril Groom
All I’m hoping for Christmas is… The chance for all my family to be together – there are eight of us.
One thing we can all do to live a greener life: Walk more. I started during lockdown and haven’t stopped. It’s the quickest way to get around London, and healthy.
The most exciting thing about next year is… The tantalising goal of being able to travel again, in an eco-friendly way.
Best gift I’ve ever given: The vintage Rolex my husband inherited and ruined in a swimming pool (old Oysters are not waterproof) the week I met him. I found it in a drawer and secretly got it restored for a special wedding anniversary.
Harriet Compston
All I’m hoping for Christmas is… A trip to either the North or South Pole – a life-long dream ever since I saw David Attenborough’s Frozen Planet.
One thing we can all do to live a greener life: Walk, walk, walk – particularly in London. I used
to live in the Middle Temple and the streets surrounding the Inns of Court are so fascinating.
The most exciting thing about next year is… Getting started on my next book, Glorious Hotels of Sri Lanka.
Best gift I’ve ever given: A tsatsal (Mongolian milk spoon).
Ticky Hendley-Dent
All I’m hoping for Christmas is… Not to be woken before 6am by the children! Joking aside I hope we get to celebrate with our extended family but if not we’ll have a fabulous day with our two boys and our miniature schnauzer, Agatha.
One thing we can all do to live a greener life: Order milk from the milk man.
The most exciting thing about next year is… It’s not 2020! Let’s hope we can return to normality reflecting on what we have learnt during the pandemic.
Best gift I’ve ever given: A Donald Trump loo brush to my brother-in-law for Secret Santa. And I’ll never forget the look of pure joy on my son’s face, aged three, when we gave him a Buzz Lightyear.
Lisa Grainger
All I’m hoping for Christmas is… A vaccine: worldwide, for everyone. A hug from my mum, in Africa. And a never-ending supply of dark Pierre Marcolini chocolates.
One thing we can all do to live a greener life: Become more like the post-war generation, who had so little, and so treasured and re- used everything.
The most exciting thing about next year is… That nature has had time to replenish itself during lockdown.
Best gift I’ve ever given: Four sets of theatre tickets, to my boyfriend, for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
