I recently celebrated my 25th birthday. It was pretty quiet, to be honest. I woke up to a brilliant surprise from Mum and Dad: Pippa Middleton’s Celebrate – a craft and recipe book (I like it, even though the reviews weren’t stellar), and beautiful sterling silver Tiffany earrings, which I have worn every day since.

Despite working on my actual day of birth, I celebrated my milestone in the company of my best cousins the weekend before with wine, dinner and music. It was a great night, something I wish we could do more often.
