When I was young I was all about black. Not goth or emo, but I only really had black clothing and would take the un-coloured option every time. Now that I’m in my late 40s, I really love green. The bright green of spring grass on a sunny day, because the tans and browns of Australian summer and autumn and the greys of winter really wash out the palette of the countryside and the olive greens and blues of eucalyptus are dull, muted colours. My clothes are a lot more colourful, now, too.

I’m a big queen fan and I love Thank God it’s Christmas. I also love Jona Lewie’s Stop The Cavalry, which isn’t really a Christmas song, but only gets played at Christmas. Bing Crosby’s White Christmas is my favourite traditional recording. Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano needs to be binned forever.
