I’m very excited to be talking and signing books at Port Eliot festival, this year. Set in the beautiful Cornish countryside, I’ve been invited by the lovely people at Hush who will be holding a pyjama amnesty as well as a series of style talks. Catch me in the Hush tent at 1pm on Saturday 30 July, wearing my Hush Harem pants and military jacket and possibly a pair of wellies. There are so many brilliant guests at Port Eliot, just typing this is making me giddy: Gloria Steinem, Ali Smith, Sandy Powell, Sarah Mower, Nina Stibbe, Kim Gordon and many more. Together with plenty of festival activities. I won’t be decorating our tent with fairylights or doing Disco Yoga but I might have a go at clog making and Mr That’s Not My Age will probably be foraging for herbs or wild running (for the next train home).
